I could hit with the knuckles if bare handed but with wraps the natural alignment of the straight wrist changes the hitting surface, is this the reason for the padding being mostly where it is?

I think they pad gloves the way they do so they hold together. If you bunched up all the padding in the front the gloves would be bulky and the padding could move around. If the padding is one piece from your wrist to your fingers the padding wont move around
