Why is it masculine?
Poètes is masculine because it derives from Latin "poēta," which was itself borrowed from Greek "ποιητής" (poiētés). Although Latin "poēta" ends in -a (typically a feminine ending), it retained masculine gender as a borrowed word from Greek. French maintained this masculine designation, making "poète" masculine despite its -e ending, which normally indicates feminine gender in French nouns.
