In a power transmission there is a need for step up and step down the voltage for a certain distance. So we cant use dc for a particular distance.

Answer

D.C. transmission is used for long-range extra-high voltage transmission, for under-sea high-voltage transmission, and for international 'links'. The equipment for achieving these voltages is far more complicated/expensive compared with Transformers, making short distance d.c. transmission uneconomical.

Why area below the distance-time graph is used to calculate speed?

That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
