Not only does it serve to keep out "large chunks", but it more importantly influences airflow over the sensor.

Ditto that. I've put in a couple of CAI (Cold Air Induction) kits in other cars, I haven't encountered one without the screen, domestic or import. Oh and BTW, there was always a seat of the pants difference felt with them, one verified a 13 HP increase on the dyno, these completely replaced the stock airboxes though.
