Why did the French kings and the pope fight?
Could you be a bit more specific with a time period? There have been popes for 2,000 years, and there has been a France for maybe 1,200 years. The most common conflicts, however, between whatever French King was in power and the Pope were over Church property (which was sometimes as high as 30% of all French territory) and was not taxable and over France's nature as a Catholic State that fought against other Catholic States or Permitted Non-Catholic Religions.
What was the Babylonian Captivity in 1309 1377?
King Philip IV of France ruled during the 13th and 14th centuries. He felt he had the right to tax the clergy (church officials) in France. When Pope Boniface refused, King Philip sent troops to capture the Pope who later died of natural causes. King Philip ensured the election of a French Pope who moved the papacy to Avignon, France. The next six popes were also French.The time period in which the papal capital was in Avignon was called the Babylonian Captivity (1309-1377) named after the Hebrew captivity in Babylonia. During this time, the Pope's power gradually declined. Pope Gregory IX (1370 - 1378) returned to Rome to try to bolster his authority and died while residing there. The cardinals chose a new Italian pope and the French cardinals chose a French pope, each pope excommunicated the other. There were now two popes and this division in church power was called the Western Schism. This divided Europe between 1378 and 1417. France and its allies supported the Avignon pope, while England and its allies supported the Italian pope. As a result of this schism, the pope and the Catholic Church itself lost much political power and moral resolve.

Did churches in the middle ages ever lose a fight?
I am assuming you are asking about disagreements between Church authorities, such as popes, and secular authorities, such as kings or emperors. The answer is yes, sometimes the kings and emperors won. Their victories were not permanent, but the victories sometimes lasted for the rest of their lives. There was a period from 1305 to 1378, for example, when the popes were so dominated by the Kings of France that they did not go to Rome and remained in what has been called the "Babylonian Captivity" of the popes.
