Got 2002 honda civic over heat problem, in the morning it's great, used it work 20min drive then later in the afternoon goin home same 20min drive that's the time it get overheat and I open the hood coolant come out through the overflow. Got new thermostat, new radiator hose upper and down, new coolant flash and bleed air, tested fan switch working, checked compression if it's the head gasket but it's not and coolant and oil doesn't mix.

Please help can't figure it out what's the issue?

You don't know that it isn't a head gasket problem. A compression check won't give you a definitive answer. You could have a blown head, cracked head or cracked block. An exhaust analyzer sniffing fumes at the radiator is about the only accurate way to test for that type of stuff. Ov er the counter chemical tests just aren't that reliable either.
