Things look colored because they scatter back some wavelengths of radiation and absorb the rest. People wear white clothes to keep cool because white includes all colors. Things look black because they scatter back no colours, so it looks like no light at all is scattered, and no light means black. So it is not a case of why does black absorb most, it is simply that if it absorbs everything, then it must look black.
