The original use of fingerless gloves was for bicycles and motorcycles.

When riding a bicycle or motorcycle, the vibrations of the vehicle will often cause your hands to go numb. Since this obviously poses a difficulty, you want to wear gloves so that you absorb the vibrations.

However, you only really need the palms of your hands covered for that purpose. Since covering the fingers of your hands can cause them to overheat in warm weather and interferes with your ability to manipulate objects, it’s a lot easier to just chop the fingers off and keep the part of the glove you actually need.
