The stated purpose of UV filters is to reduce the amount of UV light - however, this isn't an issue with digital cameras.
UV filters are often also (I suspect) referred to as Protection filters. The stated purpose in these cases is to protect the front element of your lens.
Regarding the tint - never noticed it or if I did, it never bothered me - I must admit though that it's been a while since I regularly used UV filters on my lenses. If I look into my Samyang 85, I see a deep red/purple tint - but my pics don't come out red/purple. Perhaps same goes for these filters (better quality ones at least). No idea on this one, really.
I no longer use filters on a daily basis, but I would use them if I were to shoot at a beach, children's birthday party, a nightclub and stuff like that where there are increased risks.
I sometimes use Pol filters and have a single IR filter - never really used it properly yet. My plan is to get me some ND filters as well, for bright sunny day situations.
Ps. I rely more on the lens hood for protection.
