as the avatar, he has to be attached to the earth. Avatar Yangchen told him that if the avatar were detached from the world there would be chaos. With each reincarnation the avatar becomes closer and closer to understanding the human spirit. Which is also why they have to learn from others the other bending abilities and aren't just born with them. They need that human attachment to grow and learn. Look at roku, even as an avatar he made friends, monk gyatso, his earthbending teacher, and even the waterbending master and firelord sozin. Aang is no more different than anyone else. He could choose to be detatched from this world and just go through life doing his duty, being the avatar but wat would that accomplish. Plus if you haven't noticed he's been detached from people alot, after Appa was taken away he distanced himself from everyone, even katara, when he was unblocking his seventh chakra, he had to let go of all of his earthly attachments even katara, and he was willing to do it but it was his vision that stopped him
