Please don't do that, they happen to be very useful.
The particular instance which springs to mind is on talk pages for
templates, to demarcate between =Documentation= and =Discussion=. Because
the "Add a comment" function, available through the "+" button, adds
comments at the "==" level, it is handy to document the template at the
start of the talk page and insert "=Discussion=" after, so that further
comments fall properly into line.
The top-level header is a part of Mediawiki syntax, even if it is not used
in many places: please don't fiddle with it without considering all possible
consequences.
