1. Because it's annoying for the crew if your ship is constantly shaking thanks to the impact.

2. Not any more replacable than regular soldiers. Quite the opposite, in fact. Clone Troopers were born and raised to fight, and as such are far more skilled soldiers than non-Clones in the Republic Army. It's far harder to replace such an asset than a standard draftee from some random planet, as it takes a decade before you can get a new one, instead of a couple of months.

3. Except they obviously don't work like lasers at all. It doesn't even say so on the wiki page. It only says that the terms are often used interchangably, as they're both glowy particle beams.

PS: Things don't bleed when hit by blaster shots, unless they are shot in the head or something (which turns half their skull into a gory mess). And of course it's impossible, it's science fiction. The most core element of sci-fi is that there is physically impossible technology.

As for all this:

1. Irrelevant

2. Irrelevant

3. Irrelevant

It is how it is, and whether or not it makes sense doesn't matter.
