The National Parks have a dual mission of protecting American wilderness and associated Natural Resources and/or antiquities (such as Native American cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde) on one hand, and on the other hand providing for human enjoyment of the same national treasures. While it is commonly thought that these dual purposes are somewhat mutually exclusive, in practice the goals can generally coexist with proper management. However, there are many more detailed answers for the specific purposes of why each particular National Parks, monuments, historic sites, seashores, and recreation areas was established. Each such area was set aside for a particular purpose by declaration of the President under the authority of the Antiquities Act. or by Congress under legislation signed by the President.

Wilderness areas are typically protected to preserve their natural state and are managed to minimize human impact.

Wilderness areas have stricter usage restrictions and are generally more remote and undeveloped compared to national parks.
Why are most national parks located in the western US?
When the national park movement began, many of the first national parks were set aside in pristine wilderness areas, and most of those areas were in unsettled places in the west. It was relatively easy to set aside large areas of land because few people lived in those areas compared with the east. It was much more controversial when national parks were established in the east, such as Shenandoah National Park, which forced many people already living there out of their homes.
