If the black tank fills up to the point where it is backing up into the toilet, there would be enough pressure due to gravity to push waste water backwards through the sprayer in the tank, and if the air gap/backflow preventer valve was not higher than the toilet rim, waste water could flow up to the valve, and for those that have removed the valve the waste could travel all the way out the tank sprayer inlet in the convenience center. That is one reason for the valve being there.
