It is because halogens are some of the most reactive elements in existence Every atom wants to have a full valence outer shell. Halogens are only missing one electron to have a full valence shell. So either they are diatomic halogens such as chlorine which never is singular it is either Cl2 or mixed with other elements.

No they cant. They are formed in nature.
How many elements cant be found in nature?
Uranium, element number 92, is the largest naturally occurring element. However, francium, 87, and astatine, 85, along with any element with an atomic number larger than 92 are not found in nature. They are produced in the laboratory. If they do occur naturally they are in exceedingly small quantities. So to answer your question "How many elements can't be found in nature?" about 16 or a few more.
