Senku could have used the time machine to meet (or even save) his birth parents, but his entire focus was on saving and seeing Byakuya again.
To him Byakuya is his dad and nothing could ever change that.

"Mr. Ishigami? Your son's here to see you." Someone called over the PA.
Byakuya jumped up excitedly. It felt like years and years since he'd seen his talented prodigy son!
"I swear it was just a week since he last came by. You think he ran out of money that fast?" Another scientist asked, "You gotta get him under control, Byakuya."
"At least he's talking to me!" Byakuya laughed, a little too forced, "Most of the time, he's more interested in his experiments than his father."
"...That's kinda sad, man."
"You don't understand us!" Byakuya replied, hurrying outside to meet him. He was ready for a lot of things. Another failed rocket launch. A complaint from the school. Maybe a visit from the police about either the truancy or the rockets. Twelve years of raising Senku prepared you for a lot.
It didn't prepare him for the look on Senku's face when he saw Byakuya. All wide-eyed and haunted.
Usually, when he got into those moods, there was no way to get him to talk about what was bugging him. But this time, just seconds in, Senku blurted it out himself.
"You know I love you, right?"
"Huh?" Byakuya blinked, taken aback by the blunt way he said it, completely unlike the Senku he thought he knew, "Of course I know that, silly! What's brought this on? "
Senku's mouth twitched, "I just- wanted to make sure you knew. Otherwise I might regret that for thirty seven hundred years."
That was strange. Had he moved on from the ten billion number?
[Time Travel AU of Senku going to the past. And getting to have that heart to heart w Byakuya that I- he needed]

Dr. Stone, New World episode 21
I don’t remember reading the firework’s backstory in manga. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If it was not in the manga, but the animation decided to add this nugget from the past, I am grateful. Little kindergartener Senku in Yukata and his excited Dad, reminding him that science is everywhere, even firecrackers, was a good decision. It instilled early into Senku a respect for labour and craft and knocked him down from a potential high chair where only “Theoretical Physics and Nuclear Research” is deemed as science; while mundane creations like firecrackers or toasters are not seen as anything beyond tech.
But everything we use, in this modern life, is a result of centuries of trial and error. Though I am a science noob, this animanga reignited my curiosity for everyday development in science and technology.
Hence, I repeat :
Byakuya, deserves the best AniManga dad of the year. Dude adopted his friend’s son and raised that little shit with love and freedom, and it shows. Senku is rightly independent, but he understands his ideas and knowledge will be wasted without help from both skilled and unskilled people. He alone cannot speedrun to modernity; it's all thanks to his upbringing.
And we know, Senku never speaks about it, but he really misses his dad. I am glad the animation team keep giving such glimpses from the past.
