Why is accurate time important with these modes?

It's not important with all of them, but some, like JT65 and JT9, that use very strong error correction use algorithms that are somehow linked to start times. Other modes like MSK144 designed for meteor scatter don't care about time, but instead are looking for the data repeated at very short intervals so that you can get it in a very brief reflection.

It's worth the time to read through K1JT's excellent help file for WSJT-X, which describes the various modes.
