Did you notice that the rubber was all torn where the 3 clips were, meaning it was properly installed to begin with? Wonder what's causing it . Will reinstall it myself as well, but will be checking to see if it dislodges itself again. My underbumper has zero damage, so nothing hit that part.

There's only one big radiator (and condenser), plus the power steering and oil cooler radiators in front of it at the bottom (probably the ones you're referring to). I don't think either rubber piece is critical at all, but of course it's better for them to be in place. Even the channel that the rubber strips mount to doesn't seem to be for aerodynamic purposes, but who knows.
