Why is it necessary to apply high/lo pass filters to cabs?

It is not required or necessary. However, high/low pass filters are typically applied to close mic'd guitar tracks during mixing to help the guitar "sit in the mix". You should do some reading on close micing vs. "in the room". This topic has been beaten to death since the early days of modelers.
