Kamikaze pilots from Japan were on missions to purposly crash their airplanes into ships and buildings, so why did they wear protective headgear/helmets??

There is a real sign of intelligence writing you to tell you they don't know or giving you a stupid answer. The Japanese culture was made up of honor, heritage and rituals. The helmets of that time did little more then hold your hair and ear pieces in place. They wore their helmets as they did their short swords because it was part of their uniforms.
Note: Are you aware the Russians, Germans and even the US to an extent had a Kamikaze group? The Russians used to use their props to cut into the tails of German fighters.
Thanks for the chance to help. God Bless You and the Southern People.

They didn't have helmets they wore the leather ear flaps it was cold up there. They took off the ear flaps and put on a headband with the riasing sun on the front.
Thats what they did in Midway the movie.

If i was kamikazi pilot, i'd want to wear a helmet...my goal would be to complete the mission...a helmet is one tool in reaching that goal.

probably for the same reason they use an alcohol swab on the arm of a lethal injection recipient.
