Why did Perseus bring back Medusa's head?
Because he had to show King Polydectes that his task had been fulfilled.
What gift does Perseus promise to bring King Polydectes?
Perseus promises to bring King Polydectes the head of Medusa, one of the Gorgon sisters whose gaze can turn people to stone. This quest is part of Polydectes' scheme to get rid of Perseus, as he hopes the dangerous task will lead to the young hero's demise. However, Perseus accepts the challenge, determined to prove his bravery and protect his mother, Danaë, from the king's unwanted advances.
Why was perseus given such herculean task?
I'm not sure that Perseus' task could be called Herculean. By definition, a "herculean" task is one that requires great strength. Perseus' task, while daunting and certainly dangerous, didn't require any amount of strength to accomplish. He needed cunning and a strong wit, something Hercules seemed to lack. As to your question "WHY"... the king of the land in which Perseus and his mother lived greatly desired to make Danae his wife. Perseus always prevented it. So, to be rid of him, Polydectes held a feast, and asked that all those attending offer up a horse as a gift, knowing that as a fisherman, Perseus would have none to give. Offering up an apology, Perseus offered to the king anything else his heart desired. Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal gorgon, Medusa, thinking that Perseus would never return.
Why did persous kill Medusa?
Perseus killed Medusa as part of a quest to obtain her head, which was a task given to him by King Polydectes. Medusa, one of the three Gorgon sisters, had the power to turn anyone who looked at her into stone. By using a reflective shield given to him by Athena, Perseus was able to avoid her deadly gaze and behead her. Medusa's head later became a powerful weapon, capable of petrifying enemies.
Why did persus kill Medusa?
Sure did! Cut her head off and walk around (sometimes flew with his winged sandals) with it in his bag. Kind of gruesome but that's the way the old-folks were like in those days. Oh you asked Why! His soon to be step-father Polydectes didn't like him and sought to get rid of him by sending him on an impossible task. So when the time came for presents Perseus offered his services, (the present of the day were horses but being employed as a fisherman Perseus had no horse to give.) And Polydectes asked for the head of Medusa. And being the brash young man that he was Perseus accepted even thought he had no idea how he was going to accomplish such a deed. Now the story on Medusa is kind of complex. She was the center of a controversy that involved Poseidon (one of the big three of the Olympians). The Olympians wanted to put Medusa out of her misery and retrieve the 'dangerous' articles of power that Athena had (in a rage) bestowed upon her as a curse but to do so would be to incur the wrath of Poseidon. So the Gods (including Zeus) stayed out of it. But then along comes Perseus and the Gods thought they saw a chance working through him. Athena gave him a shiny shield and a means to accomplish his task. Hermes gave him the winged sandals so he could get around the great distances involved. And Hades (the real power behind the operation, another one of the big three Olympians) gave Perseus the Helm of Darkness.

Does Medusa hate men?
No, it is either all that met her gaze turned to stone; or that Perseus killed her because King Polydectes said that if he did he could claim his lands and it was thought a impossible task more likely do get Perseus killed then Medusa slayed.
Was perseus rewarded for killing Medusa?
Indirectly. You see, he was given the task by Polydectes, King of Seriphos, with the intention that the Gorgon would kill him, and then Polydectes could have his way with Perseus' mother, Danae. But he was able to kill Medusa, and in turn was able to save Andromeda from the Cetus, slew her intended huband, then returned to Seriphos where he slew Polydectes and saved his mother. He made his foster father Dictys king and he made Danae his queen. Later, he returned to Argos where he fulfilled the prophecy that he would kill his grandfather, Acrisius, making himself king of Argos.
