I believe it is due to stop the microbes spreading in the air and to prevent you inhaling them and stopping them from causing disease.

2 - Contamination. The plates are covered in order to prevent stuff from the outside getting in. If you open the lid, you risk contaminating your culture media with other things like fungal spores or other bacteria. This would result in a false positive.
Disposal, especially if working with bio-hazardous materials, is key to maintaining a safe working environment.
