In the English language, 'similar to' is the customary collocation/construction. That's just the way it is. Over the years and centuries, these two words have always been put together this way.
A similar word is 'comparable'. But 'comparable' can be used either with 'with' or with 'to'. e.g.
- The weather in Spain is comparable with the weather in Portugal.
- The weather in Spain is comparable to the weather in Portugal.
However, the word 'similar' means 'strictly comparable', so the words 'similar' and 'comparable' do not mean exactly the same thing.
