He is Sakala as he has an embodied form. He is both Sakala and Niskala (formless/ Nirguna). It is in his Niskala aspect that the Linga is appropriate as it represents formless aspect. And it also denotes the infiniteness of Linga as stated by Vyasa in Mahabharata:
Since he is great and ancient and is the source of the life and it’s continuence and since his Linga form is everlasting, he is for that reason called Sthanu.
So, Lord Shiva is primarily worshipped in Linga form because it is the only form which establishes the inseparable relationship of Shiva-Shakti, it represents the manifestation of Nirguna in Saguna form and Linga is identical with the Universe itself and it represents infinity too. Thus it is best to worship Lord Shiva in Linga form.
Many of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu is known to have worshipped the Shivlinga including Lord Ram, Parashuram and Krishna. Padma Purana and Lord Rama himself states it as ; Oh, how is it that Vibhisana seeing the Linga of Shiva, (called) Ramesvara and installed by me, is bound with chains.
Lord Krishna and Vyasa also make reference to the Shiva Linga ; The Rishis, the Gods, the Gandharvas and Apsaras, always worship the Linga form which is supposed to stand upright.
When the mind is clear and is without prejudices, we will realize that the Linga form of Shiva is the most innocent form of Brahman that our ancestors had realized. It is pure and they got it from pure nature.
Lord Krishna and Vyasa states ; He who adoreth Linga form of that high souled God, always obtained prosperity by that act.!
