As others have mentioned any extra glass lessens the sharpness of the final image. But the added protection of a "clear lens cap" means that I'll take my camera out at times when I might otherwise not - eg. windy day on the beach with salt spray and sand blowing about. It's easy to unscrew my clear lens cap for optimum quality, but difficult to put it on in a situation where I want to use it. As a result all my lenses have UV filters. If they are selling the clear protection filters as multicoated then they must be. Contax would not falsely advertise that badly these days.
