Second degree murder means that he caused the death while intentionally committing another crime, so what was he intentionally committing?

The third degree murder charge requires proof that Chauvin committed an act that is imminently dangerous, which kneeling on Floyd's shoulder wasn't, and he must have committed with a conscious indifference to life.

The judge even initially ruled that this charge didn't fit but it was overturned on appeal.

So intent isn't irrelevant.
