I thought all transactions get added to a mempool and didn't know if a timestamp was a part of being added. I just see that when a transaction takes this long to confirm its a flaw in the system.

Why doesn't bitcoin implement a FIFO algorithm for confirming transactions

Because in a decentralized system there is no way for you to know which transaction someone else received "first".  Therefore it is impossible to enforce "First in, First Out".
