Why are synthetic materials made?

Because you can design a synthetic polymer to exactly meet your needs. You can modify a natural polymer sometimes if it's not what you need, but at that point is it really a "natural" polymer? Take cellulose--a perfectly serviceable natural polymer, they build millions of homes every year out of it. But what if you need a polymer you can see through? Cellulose won't work for you there unless you dissolve it in acetic acid (cellulose acetate) or nitric acid (cellulose nitrate). By the time you're done, you have a polymer that's no longer really "natural."
