As for the Timeless Child:  It was invented for the same reason that
regeneration was in the first place, as a technobabble excuse for the
show to continue after reaching the (artificially imposed) limit on the
number of regenerations, and the actor becoming unable to continue to
play the part, respectively.

"The Five Doctors" back in 1983 established that the regeneration
limit was something the Time Lords could extend, since they made such
an offer to The Master.
