The nature of intelligence is that an entity identifies 'good' and 'bad' decisions from its past actions and their consequences, and uses these to enhance its ability to make superior decisions in future. The ability of mankind to imagine and hypothesise allows humanity to use the experience of others to increase its understanding of 'good' and 'bad' decisions beyond its own experience.
History allows people to look back on previous decisions, both major and minor, and use the known outcome to subconsciously adjust their decision-making, allowing them to better evaluate circumstances of which they have no experience.
Additionally, it is useful, from a scientific perspective, to use data from a time preceding the present to make observations, otherwise no observations could be made, due to the need to constantly collect additional information.
However, as the whole pursuit of science fulfills the same objective as the pursuit of history (enhancing our ability to make decisions), there is essentially only one purpose for history.
This reason, however, is primarily subconscious, and so historical scholars would unlikely quote this as the reason for history as a pursuit.
History exists as a record of past events, actions, and experiences that helps us understand the present and make informed decisions for the future. It provides insight into human behavior, culture, and society, allowing us to learn from the successes and mistakes of the past. Ultimately, history serves as a continuum of knowledge that shapes our identity and guides our path forward.

I know I exist, and you know you exist, and I know that you know you exist. Thereby we each both exist, and thus from all perspectives, yes, I exist. Sure I do. But, meh, why is this question here?
