Think logically ,,, what does the seal do and is there a need

1. Keep the stuff that is inside .. inside
2. Keep the stuff that is outside .. outside.
3. If it was not needed a manufacturer would not go through the trouble of putting one in. [They can make mistakes, but most likely there is a condition that they have encountered/thought of, which may not be evident to you].

I would put it back as soon as I can. But avoid going through puddles and mud etc. If you put it off too long then you should take the rotor off and blast it with compressed air [always put a mask and safety goggles ... for brakes vacuuming is preferred]
