I have read in many places on the Internet that "yeah" is considered unprofessional. And that using "yes" is preferred and considered more formal. What is the reason behind it?

Doesn't your own language have an equivalent meaning in ways to say yes?– LambieJun 22, 2018 at 17:01

Because it is informal and colloquial.
yeah adv. Informal Yes.
yeah American English, colloquial, by 1863, from drawling pronunciation of yes.

Because "yeah" is an informal and almost lazy way of saying yes. In yeah,you are not pronouncing the word yes correctly.
