MICBias is the voltage required for microphone to power and record signal at full levels.
What will happen if we ground MICBias, is it means we are disabling microphone.

Yes, grounding MICBIA will cut off Mic. or at least attenuate greatly.
All electret mics need a bias since they have a common source FET at some current such that Rbias (ext) determines mic source gain and (xIP-xIN)pp max.
Shorting MICBIAs would result in poor mic sensitivity.
You must choose Rbias so expected input level optimizes SNR quality.
Make VMID well above (xIP-xIN)pp to allow for Rbias drop.
Choose VMID for MICBIAs = 2x(0.8)=1.6 x VMID.
Then VMID becomes ADC Vref i.e. maximum input which gives you a few choices of gain from AVDD1.
The datasheet must give more details.
That would be my approach....
