English is a mixture of many languages. Often English just took a word from another language and kept the spelling the same.

Examples:

Kindergarten. A German word which is pronounced like the German word. If you would pronounce it like it should then you would say kinder like in kind.

Bureaucracy. French word. Nobody knows how to write or pronounce it. French people are weird.

But isn't kindergarten pronounced as kindergarden?

Depends on the person and English-speaking region
