The U.S. government does not want the Taliban to get the money because they are terrorists. For example, within the first six months, the Taliban has got 500 people killed or forcibly disappeared. Taliban is also preventing girls from getting a secondary school education, not to mention other women's rights, like that women are not allowed to work.
So Afghanistan has been provided rather with direct humanitarian help and the US is sending more relief money than any other country.
The US is currently working on a proposal to release some frozen money into a trust fund, which could make a major difference to the Afghan people.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
