As and old guy? Because Jesus called Him "Father" and the Transfuguration featured God declaring Jesus to be Only His Beloved Son.

As White? Because you're exclusively looking at Western art.

Adonai is not a male, Adonai is Adonai our language just doesn't have neutral gender terms and masculine is default when gender is in doubt

If you're asking why he's male it's because the religious tradition from which abrahamic religion descends is based on the idea of a Father god which is distinctly male.
