Flights leave at night for two reasons: this gives the chance for passengers to sleep during the flight without disrupting the normal sleep pattern, and this gives the passengers an opportunity to arrive at their destination early and waste an otherwise useless time spent sleeping to travel.
I assume you are referring to flights from North America.
This is also to do with the fact that most large airports in Europe have curfews, banning flights landing or taking off at night. This is a noise prevention measure. Typical curfews run from 23:00 to 06:00, but the exact times vary between airports. Taking off from North America at Midday would probably mean you would land during the curfew.

How to get cheap flights to Europe?
An excellent vacation idea for many people is to travel around Europe. Europe is full of history and culture which would give any traveler a greater appreciation for the world. Due to the poor economy and decreased value of the Euro, now is one of the most affordable times ever to travel to Europe. While Europe can be cheap once you are there, actually flying to Europe can still be quite expensive. Luckily, there are several ways that you can find cheap flights to Europe. One of the best ways to find cheap flights to Europe is to plan ahead. Like all flights, flights to Europe tend to become more expensive as the travel date grows nearer. If you plan your trip to Europe 6 or months in advance, you could save on the flights considerably. This not only works for intercontinental flights, but for flights within the continent as well. Furthermore, if you try flying to Europe during the off peak months of the winter, you could save even more money. Another way to get cheap flights to Europe is to work with a travel agent. A travel agent is a professional who works with clients to organize a vacation. The travel agent has connections with airlines and can often get a discount. In many situations, the travel agent is paid a commission through the airline, so the cost to you is free. A travel agent will also be able to organize hotels and a trip itinerary for you which can help save even more money and allow you to travel efficiently. Flying standby is the third way to get cheap flights to Europe. When you fly standby you are not guaranteed a seat, but will be placed in an unsold or cancelled seat. Since you are not guaranteed a seat, you do run the risk that the flight will be oversold and you will spend countless hours waiting for the flight. However, flying standby can knock a significant amount of money off the cost of the flight. Also, due to the lack of demand for tourism and traveling, standby passengers have far better luck getting onto flights quickly than ever before.
