The most general answer to the question is that webbed feet are an adaptation to aquatic niches. In simple terms, birds with slightly webbed feet did better than birds without them, were better at raising offspring, and over many generations this resulted in a situation wherein most aquatic birds have webbed feet.

Larmarck believed in inheritance of acquired traits. Darwin believed in natural variations causing traits to become better adapted by selection pressure. Many generations of that stretching might produce webbed feet. Darwin thought that the ducks with slightly more webbing would be the ones that tended to survive and the webbing grew larger because natural variation would continue to amplify the webbing over many generations.
