The very fist kites were probably made for fun, as playthings, and the invention may well have been accidental. But the skill of making kites must then have been considered as a magic power and reserved to for divinatory and religious practices.
However there are many utilitarian early uses or the kite: for fishing, allowing to send the bait at a long distance, for sensing the wind direction and strength, therefore as an early meteorological device, for towing canoes, for scaring the ennemies or sending messages inside besieged fortresses in wartimes...
