The vibrating reed loses energy by the vibrating object doing work against friction. Some of this friction is in the end half of the reed, and this is unavoidable. If the reed is held loosely by the ligature, motion is transmitted into the ligature and the energy is lost due to friction. The two extremes (preventing the base of the reed from moving, and leaving the base of the reed totally free) minimize the frictional loss. The second of these extremes is not possible on a clarinet reed (it is possible on a bell or on a wine glass), making the optimum choice to clamp the reed as tightly as possible without breaking anything.
The reed loses energy by transmitting some energy to the air within the mouth; this is unavoidable. The reed also loses energy to the bottom lip; a good strong embouchure (just like a good tight ligature) minimizes this loss.
