The chain cover is there to protect the chain from collecting dirt and and to save anything getting stuck in the chain eg. cloth which you are wearing.
The chain cover also protects the chain because when you leave the chain open to the elements you have to constantly oil the chain which dries out due to dirt, and in turn when you oil the chain too much the oil flows off the chain which would get on clothes etc.
Removing the chain cover does not damage the chain but the maintenance sure does increase trust me i have done it and I know, hope this helps
