Narrative:

We were taxiing out on taxiway B for departure on 27. We noticed an aircraft too high to land on 27 and heard them accept a landing on 36 from tower. We heard them cleared to land on 36 from tower. Tower asked us if we were ready for an immediate takeoff on 27; we said yes. Tower issued our takeoff clearance with some words to the effect of 'no delay; traffic on 2 mile final.' I took the runway and did not delay the takeoff. I lined up on the runway heading and kept the plane rolling and gave controls to the first officer (first officer) who was the flying pilot. He immediately added power and we took off. Meanwhile; the aircraft landing 36 was going to be in conflict with us; as our runway crosses theirs. Tower had the other aircraft go-around to avoid us. The other aircraft came within close proximity of us (we were both airborne; maybe 200 feet AGL); in my estimation 2000 feet horizontally; same altitude. We were barely airborne and didn't have the ability to maneuver. The other aircraft maneuvered to their right to miss us. The first officer and I debriefed and also debriefed the flight attendants in case any passengers saw this.tower issued our takeoff clearance and landing clearance to a crossing runway without adequate spacing. As far as the crew goes; we had disrupted sleep the night before but we were rested and I don't consider it a contributing factor. We delayed the departure of this flight so that we could get our rest.although it was a tower error; I will comment how we as crewmembers can avoid this situation. When I heard the tower issue our takeoff clearance and to expedite; I could have evaluated the situation better; perhaps refused the takeoff clearance. I thought we did as well as we could to expedite the takeoff. As we were rolling for takeoff; I saw the other aircraft on short final and decided that aborting our takeoff at that point would be more unsafe than continuing as we would have been crossing his runway as he was landing. It's a difficult decision to make when the tower asks you to expedite a takeoff because you want to help them out as well as not delay yourself; and you assume they have adequate distance built in to ensure this happens safely. I personally will not accept these any more after this incident without thoroughly understanding the situation.

Title: A CRJ taking off on one runway had a potential near-miss/conflict with a CRJ landing on an intersecting runway. The landing aircraft was instructed by the Tower to go-around.
