For the same reason Elder Ballard felt it necessary to show Tim his sacred tithing records?
Lost Gospel of Thomas 1:8 - And Jesus said, "what about the Pharisees? They did it too! Wherefore, we shall do it even more!"

I puzzled a bit about the surrounding ambiguous wording like "such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of God." It suggests we are reading some thing not literal. I do not see a way to be sure about that nor to be sure how much that would matter. The image shows the Jewish imagination was still deeply influenced by the Canaanite background.

I am inclined to think that Ezekiel's point was that God was naked and not ashamed (unlike humans who have been corrupted by the knowledge of evil).

Maybe I can helpyou see what Everybody Wang Chung and biblical scholars see in Ezekial 1:27:

Hark, a vision of brilliance, like amber's glow,
A radiant likeness, from head to toe.
As the shimmer of fire, a sight to behold,
Amidst the whirlwind, a gold brick.

Where the four cherubims their wings extend,
Their hands entwined, their feet ascend.
Like wheels within wheels, their motion so swift,
They glide around his otherworldly gift.

Their faces, a blend of man, beast, and bird,
Their eyes like lightning, their voices like word.
Their wings, like a whirlwind, a tempestuous blast,
They praise his bone in a heavenly cast.

Above them a dome, like crystal so clear,
A throne of sapphire, where majesty near.
And upon the throne, a form of light,
A vision of splendor, a dong of magnificent size.
