      one of the uses of te form is indication of "cause-effect". I got a cold so I got a headache is a more accurate translation.

            Should also accept かぜがありますから、あたまがいたいです。

            No, you cannot say かぜがある. It must be かぜをひく

            If it goes along with the word card given, it should be something like かぜをひいたから、あたまがいたいです。

            ひいている=ひいた because they both represent a continuous state. So OK.
