If no touch move rule, you would distract your opponent easily. Say you pick up your Bishop, then notice your opponent will win elsewhere on the board. So, you let go of the bishop, and grab the Knight he is threatening, then see moving it loses too. You keep at this until you find the piece you can safely move. You have just succeeded in annoying your opponent and have broken his concentration. Therein lies the key. This is why tournament halls are silent. The touch move rule is just one of many rules meant to allow full concentration during a game.
So? Both sides have this disadvantage.
It is preferred not to give either side an advantage or a disadvantage.
<<Moving the rook first is also a complete move as soon as you remove your hand from the piece.>>
No it isn't, because you can't hop the rook over the king unless you castle, which you would do if you castle. Therefore the rule to move the king first is illogical.
But If I castle on the queenside I wont need to pass the king
That's an illegal position. How did the queen and the bishop got there with no pawns moved?
it was quickly done to prove a point. Hope you are happy now
