I’m curious as to what the initial purpose of gendering every noun would be, since (from what I understand) it doesn’t really change the meaning of the sentence, just the form of certain words. Also, since English evolved from many of the ~~Romance~~ European languages that do have gendered nouns, why do we not use them in English?

English does have gendered nouns to a degree. Actor/actress, aviator/aviatrix, etc.
More in the sense of grammatical gender, there are implicit genders, like boats generally being referred to as “she”
