they have a short tail because their tail keeps in their warmth.
To minimize heat loss :]
Polar bears like other bears have short tails more or less because they don't need long ones. Bears evolved from a canine like species that had long tails. They didn't really need the long tails and through natural selection eventually evolved the stumpy tails they have today. Another reason specific to polar bears is that is very inefficient to heat a long tail when temperatures are as cold as they are in that bears environment.
