No police official has ever been able to point out the exact law on the books (because one does not exist), but they all believe it's there, the honest ones and the corrupt ones alike. So if the police tell you it is the law, it will do you no good to argue, even though it is NOT the law. Don't have ready access to Thai statutes so I'm not going to disagree. But being a non-Thai, I would be at least a bit concerned about being able to prove I was legally in the country and that is normally done with the passport and the white departure card attached to it. The answer to why a copy might not be good enough is that you can hide a lot of alterations on a photo-copy that would be obvious on the original.
