It makes it easier for red blood cells to be transported through narrow capillaries, where some are so narrow that only one red blood cell flex to pass at a time. Added to that there's more space to transport more haemoglobin and oxygen or carbon dioxide.

What specialised cell does not have a nucleus?

The most common example of an anucleated (nucleus-lacking) cell is a mature mammalian erythrocyte (red blood cell). Erythrocytes also lack mitochondria. This causes them to be short-lived. They are specialized solely to facilitate the transport of oxygen to bodily cells, and carbon dioxide away from them, via hemoglobin.
