Clothing absorbs the oils used during the session. That's ONE good reason towels were invented.
Not all forms of massage require you to remove your clothing. Shiatsu, a form of Japanese massage, rarely require the recipient to remove their clothing. Other forms just as chair massage, Thai massage, and Reflexology also do not require you to remove your clothing.

The most common form of massage, Swedish massage, does require the recipient to remove clothing so that skin to skin contact can be established. This also gives the Massage Therapist the ability to feel muscle tension, see the body and skin for signs of distress, and feeling of oil or lotion being rubbed into the skin can be very enjoyable.

Today's Massage Therapists, at least the good ones, are trained to do professional draping, which means you change and lie down on the table before the massage therapist enters the room, and you pull a sheet or blanket over you. The therapist will uncover one area of the body at a time, tucking of folding the sheet out of the way as they go along.

If you have concerns about draping or being too exposed, simply express your concerns to the therapist.

Do you have to be undressed during a massage?

No. It depends on the style, or modality, that is being applied. If it is one that requires oil as a medium, then the more disrobed you are, the more areas of your body will be available to be massaged. If you are getting an energy oriented massage that does not use oil , then you can keep all your cloths on and the therapist will massage you through your cloths.

Do you have to be undressed in an Asian massage?

No. You are not 'naked' in any professional massage in the United States. In Swedish, and other Eastern-style massages, you disrobe (remove your clothing) and lay on a table covered with a sheet. The massage therapist then uncovers only the area that they are working on at the time. In Asian-style massages you keep all your cloths on and get massaged through them.
