Everytime it rains my rear hatch is the dirties part of the car... It seem air is pulling all the dirt back into the rear hatch... Is there a better designed rear spoiler to prevent this dirt build up???

No, but you take it off.
The 200 rear spoiler is designed to decrease drag and increase fuel economy. Without going down a long road of how aerodynamics, it’s negative effect is that it dust lifting up is inevitable.

So it's dirt vs fuel economy...
There's no win-win here unless you don't drive the car.
My 100-series didn't have a rear wing. It still got dirty as heck back there. Wing or not, dirt kicked up by the vehicle will find its way onto the backside of it.

It's known as the Kamm effect, iirc...a squared-off back end creates a vacuum. OT, but our series 100 LX has a wing at an angle at the rear of the roof, and it sits above the roof about 2-3 inches. That allows it to guide air down and over the tailgate. Later series 100 trucks have a solid spoiler same as the 200's.
#TeCLis300 is correct.

Maybe spray the window with rainx or similar?

Active spoiler.
My wife’s sequoia has the same issue. I clay bared the back. Then used Butter wax and then ceramic coated it. Now to clean I rinse with water. Including the glass.
Or haul a trailer all the time so you’re not looking out the back window.
