How important is work experience when it comes to the top 25 MS Accounting programs or so? I would think that many would get their MS Accounting right after undergrad in order to satisfy the CPA requirements.

Not important.

That's what I figured, but I was in a chatroom with the Baruch graduate admissions staff and they told me it was rare for someone to be admitted to any graduate program without a couple years of work experience.
I think they may have been bull*removed*ting me, at least I hope so.
With a 660 GMAT and a 3.6 GPA and an internship under my belt, do you think my chances are decent for the MS Accounting program?

That may be true for an MBA, but not accounting.
