It's there so AMD could sink me for another 250$

Me too! Although I figured Ma put it in there for a better reason than that. Mine had rust holes in it so it got replaced.

I'm going to speculate that it is probably to stop a "canning/drumming" effect when the air pressure, or lack there of, builds up in that rear window design. Without that reinforcement panel the flat panel would wobble up and down and make a horrible racket.

Didn't the race cars get chassis reinforcement and roll bars etc?

It's a very basic piece that's not really seen, get your welder and some sheetmetal out, and fix it, if you don't want to spend the $250! Having personally test fitted several pieces for AMD, I can tell you that they probably have not recovered the tooling costs on that part, but they made it for us anyway!
