You don't have to buy the hard racing shoes which are indeed a pain to walk on.
I can walk normally with my bike shoes - Shimano Touring MT-30 - just as if they were a pair of Nikes or whatever.

Nor can I see how having a cleat attaching your foot to the pedal is safer than a toe clip, where you can slid your foot right out.

If you can slide your foot right out, you're using it wrong ...
The straps on the toe clip need to be rather tight to be effective.
The SPD cleat just needs a slight twist to the side in order to release.
