Hello,
There are many reasons why an engine overheats.
A good article:

Does engine overheat straight after start, meaning the temperature gauge is showing hot but the engine is physically still cold?
As you have done a lot of work on the cooling system, has the system been bled properly? An air lock can cause overheating.

Is the cooling system losing coolant?
If yes, then the next step would be to pressure test the cooling system and check for external leaks.

Also check the thermostat:

It might be possible that the engine has a leaking head gasket:

Suggest carrying out a combustion leak test.

I know there are many possible issues, but overheating can be caused by these and more.
