Why do express trains skip stations when all stations were designed for stopping trains?

One purpose of a transportation system is to bring passengers to their destination with minimal delay. Those travelling the furthest on a rail line have to spend the most time travelling. To minimize this inconvenience, express trains skip many stations along a route. At an express stop close to a passengers destination, the traveler disembarks, waits for the next local (non-express) train, and completes his journey.
Express trains are not only a great convenience to many passengers. It is more efficient. They consume less energy, saving money. Making less stops means reducing the number of time a train must brake to stop, wait for people to embark and disembark, and start up again to travelling speed from a stopped position.
