Personally, I don't feel truly "one" with the bike unless I am clipped in.
That said, it's a personal preference issue and you may want to try flats, toe clips (with and without straps) as well as clip-in cleats to decide.
I think unless you are talking an all-out sprint while racing, the safety issue is bogus.
