The car does not have to defend itself from projectiles but from decelaration. The human body can whitstand certain forces until things start to break. That's why the cars are bigger. If you look at euroncap.com you will see that cars with small distance between the front of the car and driver's seat score worse than the cars where this distance is bigger. Same thing for side or pole crash.
