All sorts of things, from some sort of genetic disorder to a virus or bacteria that the calf picked up in the womb from the cow, or from environmental conditions (from the extremely cold and wet [cold stress] to the extremely hot [heat stress]) that the calf was exposed to when born. Injury from the cow stepping on it or laying on it could also cause some serious damage to the calf. If the cow rejects her calf and he doesn't get colostrum, he could die. Malnutrition of the cow where she doesn't have enough milk or is deficient in a mineral enough that the calf dies when it's born will cause it as well. A prime example of this is selenium deficiency which causes White Muscle Disease.

Why do rhinos chase away there older calf just because a new calf is born?
This is called "weaning." When a rhino cow gives birth to her new calf, she doesn't want her older calf around to take away the milk that her new calf is in more need of than her older calf, and the older calf may hurt its new sibling out of spite. So the rhino cow has to drive the older calf away and start getting him/her to learn to live on their own.
