Why do they call it ' after dark ' shouldn't it be 'after light?

True. But they say after dark because it is after it has first gotten dark.
While 'after light' would be appropriate in terms of description, 'dark' is a term that in this context describes a specific point in time. Think of it like 'dusk,' that transitional time between afternoon and night. In this case, 'dark' would be the period that follows that.

Why can't people see in the dark?
People can't see in the dark because their eyes need light to create images. In low-light conditions, the pupils dilate to allow more light in, but there may still not be enough to see well. Additionally, the specialized cells in the retina called rods, which are responsible for low-light vision, need some level of light to function effectively.
