Actually, this whole thing isn't just about intimidation. There are some schools of thought in which shouting is the idea in which you build up chi and thus you do end up striking harder.

And plus while it's not "HYAH" there are many situations in which calling out your 'attacks' does help efficiancy. Namely in the military. It's not necessarily the same idea, but it is pretty similar.

Plus my own old man has always talked about the idea of shouting to create a more efficiant attack. And many of the martial arts documentaries that he watches does talk about that. So in some parts of the world, they do believe that shouting does increase power (and efficiancy).
