Then, is Piccolo Goku's dad?
The point is goku is gohan's bioliogical father. Piccolo trained him during his childhood and teenage. So yes gohan has the same affection goku has for grandpa gohan and master roshi. But gohan himself never felt piccolo as his father.
Subsequently, question is, is Piccolo Gohan's best friend? Piccolo was Gohan's closest friend, even closer than Krillin and Dende. Gohan: "Yes! About the same as dad!" He clearly loves them both just as much as the other, but he still definitely thinks of Goku as more of a father figure than Piccolo.
Correspondingly, why does Piccolo care for Gohan?
He does this because Gohan possesses tremendous potential as a fighter, even more than his father Goku, and that strength could be integral for Earth's survival (spoiler: it is). A second reason for Piccolo to do so is that he has sensed from Kami-sama's mind that he and Kami-sama will die within the next year.
Does Goku care about Gohan?
Goku absolutely cares about Gohan, no doubt at all. He was furious when Rafitz took Gohan at the beginning of Z, so much so that he sacrificed his life to take down his own brother so he didn't hurt anyone anymore. Goku is definitely not the best father by any means, but he does care sometimes.
