The claws on the feet of the penguin stop them from slipping on the ice.
They also dig their claws into the ice to help them stand upright when motionless.
Due to the anatomy of penguins, it is impossible for them to lift their feet upwards to a suitable height to be able to claw at predators. Considering the predators of penguins are larger than them, clawing them would be completely useless and have no effect. The main defence for a penguin is to swim very fast away from the threat.
