They weren't imagined, they were created. This question makes no sense. It's like asking why you were born. They were created when a human and an animal mated ~ do I need to go into details?
They are centaurs.

No, people cannot physically turn into mermaids as mermaids are mythical creatures and do not exist in reality. Mermaids are often depicted as half-human and half-fish creatures, but they are purely a product of mythology, folklore, and fiction.
They were gods, what do you think? They could move from one place to another like thinking of it, change into animals, into other people, into things half-imagined and out of nightmare.
Echidna - Greek mythology (half snake, half woman)Lamia - Greek mythology (half snake, half woman)Nāga - Hindu mythology.Zhuyin - Chinese mythology. Cecrops I, the mythical first King of Athens was half man, half snake.
Centaurs purposes were just to be magical creatures that are half horse half man. Chiron was a very wise centaur,unlike others who would always drink to much wine and have parties. Chiron taught many heroes such as Hercules and i think Perseus. But in conclusion centaurs were just creatures with fantastic archery skills.
