You need to cook chicken thoroughly (up to the recommended temperature) because not only is raw chicken unpleasant to taste, you could be at risk of salmonella or other contamination. I had a very minor case of salmonella back in college, and I wanted to die for days on end, it was the most unpleasant experience I've ever had.
Only thorough cooking can protect you from such potentially lethal illnesses.
Thoroughly thawing out the chicken allows for even cooking. If the chicken isn't thoroughly thawed out then you will have the outside of the chicken that is cooked and the inside of the chicken really undercooked and possibly still bloody. Gross!
In our modern world much of our farmed chicken is infected with the salmonella bacteria. This can give you food poisoning and it is therefore necessary to ensure that chicken is thoroughly to ensure that all the bacteria a killed by the cooking process, rendering the cooked chicken safe to eat.
This is because there are many bacteria in raw chicken, like in raw beef. If you want to be safe, and healthy, cook your chicken.
