Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypasses the fuse?

By doing that you defeat the purpose of a fuse. The fuse is there to protect the wiring from an overload or short which could cause the wires to overheat and catch on fire. By replacing the fuse with a wire or fuse that is too large all the protection is gone and your car could catch on fire at any moment.
