They wait to allow the wake turbulence from the first aircraft to dissipate. Wake turbulence from heavy jets and those with unique wing designs (such as the B-757) can be extreme and cause other aircraft to lose control.

Larger aircraft that might not be affected by the preceding aircraft's wake turbulence can waive or reduce the time required before taking off.

Why do pilots wait for a brief period of time before taking off after another plane has taken off?

Sometimes it's because another plane may be landing right after a previous plane just took off so you have to wait till that plane clears the runaway. And Sometimes the pilot needs to make some minor last minute adjustments. Keep in mind pilots don't like to be waiting on the ground because that consumes fuel that could be used for better things.

Winch launching of gliding planes is more fuel efficient than other means of launching - why are large passenger airplanes not launched with a winch?

Because it would be hard to make one big enough, and since they are so big, if they did make a winch, the force might break the plane, and if it was slow enough to not break it(wait, break is for smaller thing, right?), it would be about the same as a regular takeoff. And most gliding planes do not have a power source (and if they do, it's not usually used for takeoff, just when they are going too slow, or something.) so usually they are towed by another plane (or winch launched.)
