One woul suggest that from a Doylistic perspective it is to humanize them somewhat. Likewise, Watsonianly, they must be distinguished from the robbotic infantry Atlas fields. That said, it is odd that that sort of helmet does not just go all the way. However, given Remnant's tech level and casual disregard for the letter of volume conservation, it is quite possible that the helmet can seal off the mouth. Failing that, they can carry such a thing, again with volume conservation told to fuck off, as you yourself suggest.
