VMWare Tools make my VMWare Workstation is so slow.

I have installed a virtual macOS 10.15.7 on VMWare 16.2.1. Everything is OK until I installed VMWare Tools to fix screen resolution like normal.

Weirdly is, when I resize the VMWare's window smaller, it reaches a size that the Mac doesn't have any problems, it's smooth. Bigger than that size, or even I enter to full-screen mode, it becomes laggy, late responses for both my virtual Mac and my main Window 10.

How can I fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

It is a violation of Apple's licensing to run their OS on non-Apple hardware.  We cannot help you here as VMware could get into legal trouble.  Also, you needed to apply a third party hack/crack to modify the VMware software to even install MacOS as a guest... so you have come to a company's support forum admitting you cracked their software and are asking for help.
