Generally it is a good idea for admins to have user e-mail enabled, I doubt many would dispute that. However, it should not be made to seem compulsory. We are, after all, volunteers here and if one admin does not have e-mail enabled it should be easy enough to e-mail another. I don't like the idea that admins "must" do certain things, there is nothing they must do.
If they block someone, then they should be responsible for it. And since they all have the power to block people, it is better to be sure that they can be contacted by a user who has no other way of contacting them directly.

The short answer is: If I block someone, it's not like I have to respond to their emails anyhow. While it'd be nice to enable an email address - if I'm not taking emails, it'd be better if that was clear, rather than dishonestly letting them sit in an "in" bin forever. Anybody's who's been blocked can request a review from a second admin anyhow {{unblock|reason}}
