I had just bought a new canon m50 and I HATE it.

The photos are extremely bad and not sharp, and I feel like I could take better pictures with my phone. I spent about 1500 USD on it (camera + 2 lenses + insurance) and I am so very disappointed by it.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I just hate it, I have previously filmed with other cameras such as canon 500d and 800d (Didn't own them but the cameras of friends) and the pictures were much much better.

What should I do?

The dynamic range of new cameras are much better than older cameras, but as a result, it may look like the image lacks contrast, but that is by design. By having low contrast plus lots of dynamic range, you have a lot more room for adjusting exposure, color, and contrast in post production.

I too was disappointed at first upgrading from my original canon rebel which seemed to have much punchier/contrasty images, but after realizing why, I found that I can extract MUCH more data from the files of my SL3/M50 than I could ever imagine with the 300D
