Our bathroom sink backs up. We replaced the pipes and never saw a clog. It still is backing up. What could cause this?

a blockage which you have NOT seen, possibly in the 'pop-up' assembly

Probably a blockage PAST the point where you changed the pipes.

while you had the pipe open you should have stuck a snake wire into it.

Purely a guess, but you didn't change enough pipe. Why did you change ANY pipe in the 1st place? I think you did your very best, with what you had, but now its time for professional intervention.. a licensed plumber.
Best Wishes

Its simple.The line is clogged down the run. It can be 4 5 feet away from the sink
Usually an electric snake from a professional sewer guy or a plumber can repair it
