Your statement, "Even salmonella isn’t present in raw chicken [...]" implies that wild fowl--animals that don't have to worry about sanitary conditions in modern, industrial farming--would be safe to eat raw. Taking sushi and sashimi as another example, that's safe(-ish) only because they use ocean fish; there's no freshwater sushi because freshwater fish carry parasites that can infect humans, and so isn't safe, even from the most pristine lakes and streams in the world.
I'd say that modern farming--when the best practices are used--is the reason we're able to eat things raw at all. When you look at feces from Romans up through late medieval Europeans, you see that most humans had all kinds of nasty intestinal parasites. (Also, a certain amount of parasitic infection seems to be good, because it keeps your autoimmune system from always being on ultra-high alert.)
