I don't think it matters as long as you received it from an accredited college/university and you took all the med school pre-requisits. I must admit that it does sound like an unconventional approach, but hey ... why not?

Do you have to take 1 year Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, English, and Physics? if so, then I guess. But I feel like it would look like a chiropractor trying to get an M.D.

as opposed to what? a peon lab tech or patient sitter trying to get an MD? 😉
good chiropractors'll know anatomy better than some MDs.

Commonly held belief but dead wrong...but good massage therapists might know as much as many DCs though.

Yes, but keep in mind that some interviewer/application reviewer may think it's a little odd. Nothing wrong with it, IMO, but I'm not the one reading your application.

in the United States of America grants a B.A. in massage therapy? It is fine with me, but it must be one of those "do it yourself majors." So name your school.

The used to be certificate programs here in Texas and now I think they may be Associate's level. I would be stunned if they made it into a Bachelor.

No, it isn't appropriate at all. What a ****ing joke.

er, not in my experience is this wrong.
of course, docs learn their anatomy, but not as in depth as some might think, and they're usually not concerned with the musculature of the entire body on a regular basis, like chiropractors are. anyway . . .
