After updating the latest version of my photoshop, the only format for saving the new file as is: psd, psb, iff, jpg2000, photoshop pdf, png, tiff...
Why are only these few file formats left?

Problem or error

Hi

See these pages for what happened. This was caused by a change in Apple OS. If the file has an unsupported feature in the new file format, it is now in Save a Copy by default.

In the update to 22.4.2, you can revert to the previous behavior in Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options:

Enable Legacy Save As
Do not append Copy

See this help page for details and cautions if you make these changes:
