Why are criminals so romanticized in American culture?

It's not unique to American culture, Britain has Dick Turpin, Australia has Ned Kelly, I'm sure every country has some romanticized villain

It's a country literally funded on tax evasion, what did you expect?

This. Every nation has some heroes who go against "the man", be it with weapons or with wit.

Yes. France has Mesrine, Bonnot etc. Hell, even Landru who was just a serial killer is romanticized to the point he inspired Chaplin.
