I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The plane crashed because the numbers weren't entered. The numbers must be entered so the thing that crashes the plane doesn't happen.
Technically, I can call these answers.
However, why do you have to enter numbers to prevent that happening? The one answer I can point to as satisfied is "Does entering the numbers have any actual material effect?"
Yes, yes it does. The rationale beyond that is murky and inconclusive, but one should keep entering the numbers.

Because it discharges the magnetic hoo-hah mojo build-up.
According to Desmond. (Or maybe not!Kelvin. I disremember.)

But why? I mean, why do that completely numb-brained and weak-linked setup? There's no reason you have to have someone enter the numbers to discharge the hoo-hah, is there? Can't the computer just do it on its own?
