This simply means that you’ve done all the work that you were given for the day.
However, it can also mean that you were given too much work and you can do no more. In which case, you would say, "I’m done for the day." This could mean things like "I can do no more" or "I’m done-in" – things that mean that I can’t do anymore. I’m too tired or simply can’t go on.
If you said the second case, you’d be going home early – unable to do more. I think it mostly means the first example. You’ve done your work and are finished for the day.

Kinda like ‘i’ve done enough for today, it’s time to rest’.
For example, you’ve worked really hard all day and finally, at some point, it’s time to give it a rest and stop/relax.
It can also be used in situations of frustration where you’ve had a long day and you absolutely refuse to do anything more.
They’re both really the same scenario but one’s satisfied and ones’s frustrated.
"I am done for the day."
"I am finished."
"I am through with my work."
"I cannot do anymore."
All of those are meanings of the words.
It is a ‘catchphrase’. Something you would say quickly, at the end of a work day, as you went out the door.
In conversation;
"Are you going home now?"
“Yes, I am done for the day. Good night!”
