as you see max dist=1.76 and min dist=1.611, but in VMD i can see that two
group (Protein and ZnS sheet) in last frame are too close to each other. so
why i see 1.611 in distwhole.xvg?

and could you please tell me what is the relevance of pullx.xvg to g_dist
output?as you see pullx.xvg ensure that distance between 2 group is
decreasing, so...?

is there anything i did not consider?

Your output is completely consistent. You're applying a biasing potential along the z-dimension only, so that's the only distance that mdrun cares about in establishing the reaction coordinate. The pullx.xvg file contains the COM coordinate of the "reference" group (group0) and in your case is just the z-coordinate, so that's the first data column. The second data column (dZ) is the displacement along the z-axis. Your COM distance results confirm this - your protein and ZnS are not exactly coincident; they have different x and y coordinates. But the z column in the distance output agrees with the pullx.xvg file (when considering the absolute value).
