I've done it - seemed to make the top end a bit more lively, and gives a bit more intake noise it that's your thing.  Having removed it it seems hard to believe the baffle doesn't have a negative effect.

I removed the whole thing, then unclipped the baffle from the frame holding it in, then made a mesh cover to fit to the frame to stop anything getting into the intake.  Nothing irreversible.  No negative effects experienced.  I'd say go for it.
