Very cute. They stopped on the sponge like a "helicopter", tail pointing upwards, they also stopped on the tank sides.

Left one shrimplet alive. Low survival rate?

Bro, maybe the rest are hiding? Hmmmm, it seems weird that the waters is conducive for the shrimp mama to have hatch eggs but not good enough to support the shrimplets.

Anyway, any changes to your water parameters? Do you dose any fert? And are there any fishes (which I assume is no) in your tank?

Yesterday I saw 4-5 3mm shimplets swimming, just now I can see only 1, and I saw 2 dead shrimplet bodies. I think my tank too small and no filter, or air pump too powerful.

Maybe you can tell us the size of your tank? No filter is quite risky in my opinion.

As for air pump, if it's too strong, you can always pinch the air tube with a cloth peg to reduce the intensity. But this maybe also damage the air pump in the long run.
