Why do we say 'I'm going home' but not 'I'm going to home' ?
Can anybody help with this please?

"Go home" never has a preposition as compared "to be at home". However, it shouldn't be forgotten that "go to" is used in many other instances when movement is implied: go to the doctor's, go to the supermarket, go to the cinema, go to meet him at the airport and so on. I would say "go home" is the exception to the rule.
