why don't cutom feilds export into excel (from Task folders)

Because Outlook wasn't designed to export custom fields. Quick and dirty workaround:

1. Put all the items from your form in one folder.
2. Use a table view to display all the data fields that you want to export to Excel.
3. Choose Edit | Select All.
4. Choose Edit | Copy.
5. Paste to Excel.

You can't change the fields available for export. However, if you use Access to set up a linked table connected to your mail folder, you will see the Received date among the available properties. Third-party export tools are also available; see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm#tools

Otherwise, you'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm .
