What about the 18th (prohibition) and 22d (repeal of prohibition)? Why didn’t they render the whole thing moot, null and void?

Because the 18th Amendment was not enacted as a condition necessary for the original 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution and put it into effect, whereas the Bill of Rights was.

If it weren’t for the Bill of Rights, the Constitution would not have passed muster.
