Just seemed to make sense at the time. And someone told me they had did this to their car

if you have bypassed the EGR then you can bypass the coolant lines. If the EGR is still operational, bypassing the coolant lines would be a step backwards, because just as stated earlier... even though the coolant is hot as hell, the exhaust gasses in the EGR are hotter yet.
