Why do you say “on top of something”, and not “on THE top of something”?

"on top of" is an idiom that means "as well as", "in addition to" e.g. On top of all the problems that I mentioned, my car has now broken down! "on the top of" is literal e.g. I am standing on the top of a hill. Where are you?

“On top of that” means “in addition”, “moreover” while “on the top of that” means “ above” :)

We use both. It depends on the situation, but sometimes they mean the same thing.
