There are lots of important reasons why players use different mouthpiece angles, but we shouldn't slide into using this one - most of the sound doesn't come from the bell for most of the clarinet's compass. If anything, you might make a case that for most notes the more you face the tone holes toward the ceiling (with a high angle), the less sound goes straight out toward the audience.
