Morphology
The meaning 'data supplied to a device or program' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'input' (a signal or data fed into equipment) with 'data' (information). This compositional pattern is literal, common in technical contexts and mirrored in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Input data comes from the simple idea of putting information into a machine: input is what you put in and data are the facts or numbers you feed it. So input data means the information you give to a device or program to use.
