When you wash eggs you remove their impermeable coating that protects the shell from bacterial infection. When you don't wash eggs they stay covered in the chicken poop and muck and the associated salmonella and e.coli bacterium. It's just making the choice of one health risk over another - give them an expiration date or risk cross-contamination from handling.
Fun Fax: this only applies to mass-produced and shipped eggs, local producers and farm stands etc. don't need to wash the eggs before selling, just the high-risk sources.
