Yes they do, it is how they walk. It's also something they've gained as far as evolution is concerned. They don't need to catch prey or climb trees or any other sort of thing that requires claws, but do need something they can use to move quickly on. Hooves are what they rely on to move quickly, much faster than a predator, since they are equivalent to a human standing right on the ends of his toes. Though a human finds it impossible to run this way, a hooved animal like a gazelle finds it highly useful when escaping from a cheetah. Though much larger and heavier hooved animals like moose, buffalo, bison, gaur and domestic cattle don't run as fast as a gazelle, they are still equipped with the same type of feet as a gazelle if need be. Hooves are also a great defense mechanism since they can be used to cut/slash and bruise if a hooved mammal rears in defense, tries to buck off a predator off its back, tramples it, or kicks out.
