So, if a Rabbi tells his congregation that he believes it is okay to eat chicken with dairy, it still isn't??? Just because it is a ruling of the Sages and not directly from the Torah does not mean that it can be overturned by a single Rabbi nowadays.
I think that if the majority of the halachically trained Rabiis came to a consensous regarding reverting its status back to apreve, it could be. I personally would support such a measure, but know it would fail misrably, since no 2 Rabbis can agree on anything. I asked this to a rabbi once and he answered "because it's chicken! I have been told that since chicken was at one time slaughtered with other meats, it could have been contaminated with blood, so could make it not OK to mix with dairy.
This is one of those "fences around Torah" that keep us from approaching the mitzvot so closely that we might accidentally trip up.
I think in modern times, there may be a day in which they declare chicken to be OK to eat with dairy since there is almost no chance of the blood of poultry mixing with the blood of the mammals we eat.. I'm with your logic. Keeping Kosher. The name for this particular practice has come to stand for more stringent kashrut standards in general.

The next story, of Levi and Rabbi Judah the Prince, occurs around the year Clearly by that point the majority practice has become that it's prohibited, but a few towns still follow the minority practice. By the time the Babylonian Talmud is complete in the year or so, the minority practice lives only in the books.
As to the reasoning: some of it may be "we're afraid you'll mistake poultry for beef", but Maimonides actually explains it somewhat differently. As to "which rabbi wrote a responsum", let me backtrack for a moment here to clear this up. Since the Talmud was completed around the year , rabbis have not had the power to create new laws out of the blue of the form "don't do X because you may do Y. Or a more famous example: "we, the rabbinic leadership of France and Germany, have determined that polygamy is causing familial strife as well as giving the Jewish community a black eye, so we ban it.
Note that the rabbis in the s still had a formal Sanhedrin that could actually create new laws, we don't anymore. Minority opinions were recorded in the Talmud out of respect, but the ruling followed the majority. So to answer your question -- a majority of rabbis around the year felt it was rabbinically prohibited, and it's likely that prohibition -- like most rabbinic prohibitions -- had arisen over the century or two before that. There's another opinion in the s that it's biblically prohibited, which means clearly some hadn't been doing it at that point!
