The search bar is there for a simple reason. It's to allow a place to do searches with search autosuggest without sending every single URL you type to the search provider.
Chrome adopts the "send all the URLs the user types to the search provider" approach by default, unsurprisingly.
Of course if you don't care about the search autosuggest feature, you can just customize away the search bar.
