Why can we consume raw seafood and undercooked beef but not raw chicken?

The short version: you *can* eat raw chicken without getting sick.

However, you *shouldn't* eat raw chicken, because you have a much higher *chance* of getting sick.

It's not a property of the meat itself, but the frequency and commonality of microbial presence on the meat. Chicken, by the nature of their diet, immune systems, and habits, have a higher occurrence of significant amounts of salmonella being present in their meat than do fish. 

There are plenty of meats you shouldn't eat raw. Even beef and seafood are not *always* safe to eat undercooked. They're just *less likely* to make you sick than chicken is because they're less commonly infected with things that will make you sick.

*Just* raw chicken meat can be digested just fine by the human digestive system. The problem comes from all the non-sterile bacteria etc. that potentially exist along with the raw meat.
