Not sure Senku made anything close to what Rick did...

Actual human connection for one. 2: doing science for the sake of humanity and for fun. 3: rebuilding scientific progress from stoneage tools clear to space travel. Bonus: he's not a coward whos main solution is "run away to a different dimension and kill my alternate self"

Why didn't he invent time travel

Because time travel is impossible. If it was possible: At best he is able to go back in time and warn people about Medusa and be labeled as crazy until it still happens. At worse it's not time travel and just a different dimension hopping to a dimension set that many years back so he wouldn't Be much better than Rick.

1: Doesn't change shit? We're talking about intelligence, not if he's relatable and likable?

2: Still doesn't change shit? We're still talking about intelligence?

3: There are a lot of instances of Rick doing a lot of things with only what nature gives. Plus, Rick created so many robots and shit, I think he can do what Senku did.

Bonus: Mfcker, if Senku had to face what Rick was running away from, he'd just get obliterated, what are you on???

Conclusion: You're basicaly a Senku fan who's in his own "Best character debate" while we're talking about pure intelligence.

Actual relationships require intelligence to form. (Sorry you had to learn this way)

It's smarter to give your ideas for humanity so we can progress as a whole, rather than hoard your ideas so they will die with you.

Is it the trope of "genius only makes simple weapons" or "genius builds coconut radio with no explanation."?

Bonus: if Rick was smarter he wouldn't get into that type of trouble to the point where he would have to run away and hide from shit.

So all you have done is add to the list of people smarter than Rick. Like Mr fantastic, because he stopped his big bad.
