How do I earn badges? I have over 300K points with almost 500 results. How many do I need to get a badge?

Badges are awarded based upon each Project's "Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s)" that you have put into the Projects that you are working.  The first badge level is Bronze and is awarded when you have completed (14) CPU/Days of run time for a given Project.  Your WCG points are a separate achievement item from how badges are awarded.  So, go into your Profile (over at WCG), go to "My Statistics", look at your Projects that you are working on that page, and then look at the "Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s)" column.  When you have crossed (14) for the "d" (Day) entry, then you will be awarded your first (Bronze) badge for that Project.

This is my total run time:
Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) 0:060:16:33:22
Rank (#248,457)

I don't know what individual Project(s) you have selected, but look at the "Statistics by Projects" area of the "My Statistics" page.  It is the "Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s)" column (by Project) that you want to view.  If your overall Total Run Time for all Projects is 60, that is just your total accumulated run time across all Projects.  It is the Run Time of each project that has to cross at least 14 CPU Days to earn that first badge level for a given Project.  For example, if I were running (6) different Projects and had accomplished 10 CPU Days on each one, I would have 60 CPU Days Total Run Time, but no individual Project would have crossed the 14 Day requirement for that first badge level.  Hope this helps.

Thank you. That was very helpful. The highest single run project I have is 13:19:40:19

I got my first badge.

Congrats!
