I am wondering what the baud settings have to do with my terminal settings. How is the baud speed affecting my terminal? Shouldn't the terminal do more with CPI i.e. character per second settings? Is it having any historical significance?

AFAIK, stty command is used to change and print terminal line settings (man stty)

and, baud refers to how many times the voltage/signal level changes per second.
