Mathematics has a language, but it has a bunch of conclusions using said language too.
I don't think you can argue how mathematical theorems are not "scientific theory": the language part comes from all the definitions and axioms, but there is a whole theory built on top of it.
On your other statement, I never said mathematics is the theory of science, but rather, a scientific theory: so of course we had science before we formalized and names mathematics mathematics. It's only loosely based on reality (as a driver for many — but not all — definitions and concepts), just like other scientific theories are based on our perceived reality.
