The fluids that keep the parts of the engine lubricated... like the oil (etc) freeze easily. Warming up the vehicle gives these fluids a chance to return to their proper working state, instead of being thick and sluggish. Thick and sluggish does not properly lube engine parts. (You can actually crack your engine block... I learned this lesson the REALLY hard, expensive way.)

Because the oil is cold and in a 'glump' (please excuse the technical references) and you need a couple of minutes to get the oil warmed up and moving through the engine.

To let the oil warm up. The colder it is the harder it is for the oil to go through your engine.
