Why did Michelangelo paint naked people?

The humanism of form was a major focus for many artisans of the period, and it was common to include detailed anatomy (including musculature and facial structure) to art as a measure of its quality at the time.

Essentially, it was the style of the era.

Nudity as a vice is largely a creation of Western culture and truly only began around 500 years ago. It's a cultural nuance that is largely limited to Christian cultures, and even then only relatively recently.

There were movements from these same regions many centuries ago to censor some works of art, and as a result many famous statues or paintings were covered or re-worked to disguise or hide genitals in much of Europe's older art, but most works of this nature have since been restored to their original form.

Why Michelangelo's David's right hand is too large?

We just got back from Florence and that was my first impression of the statue as well when I saw it. Someone there explained that the statue was intended to be placed at the top of a building instead of at ground level where it currently sits. As such, from a distance the hand would have been plainly visible however not so much out of proportion which I agree it certainly is.
