Why would one put a dot before a gismu?

Only to prove a point, as far as I can see. You are always allowed to pause between any two words. Never in the middle of a word. That's a basic morphological rule of Lojban.

It's non standard and thus requires learning something new, namely, the dotside.

When you are speaking, it makes no difference.

in speaking yes. in writing pause here is non standard. why not just "space"?
 
The point is that the sequence "la.glékilaxorxes.cudárxi" has different interpretations depending on whether you use the dotside rule for cmevla or the doilalaila'a rule. If both rules were fully compatible there would heve never been so much discussion about the issue.
