I'm not 100% certain on on the clock is essential, but if you don't add a clock to a DSP builder design then when you compile it you will have no clock definition (as required in the .sdc file) and it will not try to acheive a required Fmax. Also, I think it will need the clock in order to simulate the design in Simulink.
