C++ already improved C. For example, you can now declare variables in the middle of a code block. Or write "for(int i = 0;" These things were not possible in old versions of C.

Unfortunately the few improvements are overshadowed by many more deprovements, the most critical being that the C subset in C++ has been forked into its own incompatible C dialect which is no longer compatible with C99 and beyond.
