Ehm... That kinda serves a function. If someone was in there and you didn't know it because the walls went all the way up and down and/or they didn't bother to lock the stall, or (activate) a sign saying it was occupied - then anyone could walk in on them doing you know what... or worse. Then again, I guess they could knock on the stall door. But it's much easier just to be able to see if someone is in there or not. Thus the gap at the bottom.
Or, if someone was unable to open the door for some strange/unforeseen reason - then they could crawl out from underneath.
Eta: ha-ha... Unless they were obese or something. They could try I guess.
