Icarus and Daedalus were both mortals King Minos was also a mortal
Why were Daedalus and Icarus important?
Daedalus and Icarus were characters of Greek Mythology. Daedalus was the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus was his son. Minos, King of Crete, captured both Daedalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth. Daedalus invented some bronze wings in the prison to help him and his son escape. They escaped successfully, but Icarus, ignoring his father's warnings, swooped low, touching the sea. So he drowned. Daedalus didn't die, but he lived missing his son every second from then on.
Why Daedalus and icarus prisoned by the king?
King Minos wants daedalus' knowledge. and also, daedalus let theseus(a demigod) kill king minos' minotaur(Half-bullman) and surpass the maze of the labyrinth. and kill eventually kill the daughter of minos(theseus did that). and also daedalus was the inventor of the labyrinth. and he is the one who can navigate it perfectly.the maze was designed to fool you. but not him.
What were some of Minos reasons for waiting to keep Daedalus on Crete?
Well there are some versions of the myth in which Daedalus is actually a Cretan. It wasn't until after the fall of Crete that the Hellenes (mainland Greeks) started making Daedalus an Athenian. In the non-Hellenistic versions of the Icarus myth, it's said that Minos was keeping Daedalus in a tower so that he wouldn't share the secret of the Labyrinth with the world. In this version, Daedalus and his son were kept in a tower. In later versions of the Icarus myth, it's stated that Minos imprisoned Daedalus because he helped Theseus to defeat the Minotaur by giving Ariadne the ball of string and giving him advice on how to navigate the maze. In this version, Daedalus and Icarus were kept in the Labyrinth.

Why does king Minos keep Daedalus?
i assume you are vaguely familiar with the story of daedalus and how he and his son where locked in a tower in crete so they could not share their secrets of the labrynth. in the tower daedalus and icarus develop 2 sets of wings created using feathers and wax. they attach the wings and launch out of the window. before hand daedalus warns icarus not to fly too close to the sun. halfway across the sea icarus forgets and flys to high. the wax melts and icarus falls into the sea and drowns. daedalus lands safely in sicily and manages to find safety in a castle. meanwhile, searched for Daedalus by travelling from city to city asking a riddle. He presented a spiral seashell and asked for a string to be run through it. When he reached Kamikos, King Cocalus, knowing Daedalus would be able to solve the riddle, privately fetched the old man to him. He tied the string to an ant which, lured by a drop of honey at one end, walked through the seashell stringing it all the way through. Minos then knew Daedalus was in the court of King Cocalus and demanded he be handed over. Cocalus managed to convince Minos to take a bath first, where Cocalus' daughters killed Minos. In some versions, Daedalus himself poured boiling water on Minos and killed him. The story im familiar with mentions how the princess manage to entangle him with some sort of magical rope that daedalus created before they kill him. in short King Minos does nothing to keep them from escaping Crete.
