So they don't hit their head on something during turbulence and knock themselves out. Then they wouldn't make it to their destination and it'd be a waste.

WW2 Pilots wore goggles to protect their eyes during takeoff because they would leave the canopy open until airborn. The Jap Pilot helmet offered an anchor point for the goggle strap.

The helmet was part of the uniform, so the pilots would be in full military regalia when they made their attack. It was not viewed as senseless suicide but more of an attack upon their hated enemy with their utmost ability. Honor was at stake with kamikaze pilots, so to not be in their complete uniform would be a sign of disgrace.

1. So they don't hit their heads while they still haven't reached their destination.
2. To communicate with air command (via headset).
3. As a part of military protocol.

They had to be in complete uniform. This was a honor to them.
