Personally, I'm not hung up about balance.
But it's not necessarily about slapping down the powergamer. Maybe it's just to avoid a fledgeling roleplayer being disappointed, to find their interesting character choice is inneffectual compared to their friends'.
Viewed that way, balanced character creation (which must include races) is actually an aid to good roleplaying.
