Google wants to show you relevant data. Pagination tells you where the search results are located (page) and in which order they match your criteria. This helps to estimate how much time it'll take to find what you're actually looking for and helps you find results back.

Why doesn t Google use infinite scroll?
The real reason Google hasn't used it on their search result pages is that the user behavior in an infinite scroll paradigm is to scroll, and keep scrolling, and keep scrolling some more... basically, to scroll infinitely. What Google wants, however, is for seachers to click on something.
Why is pagination better?
Pros of pagination
Page-by-page navigation allows the user to remember the location of an item. The visitors might remember the approximate location, but the numbered links will help them get to the necessary page faster. Pagination is good for commercial sites and applications.
Which is better pagination or lazy loading?
Pagination offers limited engagement to the user so that they can find a particular item immediately. On the other hand, lazy loading provides more interaction to the user, and they tend to spend more time on their first visit.
Is infinite scrolling better than pagination?
If a majority of your users visit your website with no particular goal in mind, infinite scrolling will continue to roll out relevant content in a way that is efficient, digestible and interruption-free. Pagination, on the other hand, works better for getting users to their desired content as soon as possible.
