when you are taking the partial derivative of the Lagrangian wrt l you are taking the other variables as constants, so they are derived away. You cannot do this with f(k,l) as this is a function with a l input

the same applies to the partial derivative of the Lagrangian wrt k

refer back to the rules of partial differentiation
