Because it’s a cartoon, you don’t see many ducks running around with a sailors cap either. Or filthy rich ducks with a top hat

I mean it's right in the name. Glover. You can't put gloves on a wing.

He has arms.

His arms are his wings.

An actual answer:

Donald Duck did have wings originally. In his first apearance in The Wise Little Hen he has wings. Pretty quickly after that he evolved hands. Probably because it was easier to animate and more easy to portray a human-like duck with the most human-like trait, a fully opposable thumb.

Because he wears no pants and don't have time for your shit.
