If Sri Hanuma can carry Sanjeevini mountain why didn't he just take a similar mountain carrying all Rama's army to Lanka?



Yes. Sri Hanuma can do such a feat.  However, that is a last resort.  He did not do it for a reason.

While seeing off Sri Hanuma, Sita says as follows:

कामम् अस्य त्वम् एव एकः कार्यस्य परिसाधने |
पर्याप्तः पर वीरघ्न यशस्यः ते बल उदयः || ५-३९-२८

"O Hanuma the annihilator of hostile enemies! You, as one alone, is capable of fulfilling this task. Your act of fulfilling the result is well-known."

बलैः समग्रैः यदि माम् रावणम् जित्य सम्युगे |
विजयी स्व पुरम् यायात् तत् तु मे स्यात् यशः करम् || ५-३९-२९

"If Rama defeats Ravana with his entire army in battle and as a champion takes me back to his own city, it will be quite worthy of him."

तत् यथा तस्य विक्रान्तम् अनुरूपम् महात्मनः |
भवेत् आहव शूरस्य तथा त्वम् उपपादय || ५-३९-३१

"For that reason, you act in such a way, that Rama the high-souled man, valiant in battle, may exhibit the prowess befitting of him."

Sita asked Sri Hanuma to see that Sri Rama himself gets the glory for eliminating Ravana alongwith his followers and that includes construction of a bridge also.

So Sri Hanuma waited for Sri Rama's action.
