An IP address is like your (real) home address. 
You are free to send a letter without your true home address on it. You
can spoof it. But then, don't expect a reply: if one is sent, the
recipient would be the one whom address has been spoofed by you.

ssh is like a mail correspondence between you and the remote server: if
you spoof your IP address, you wont be able to use it because you wont
get any reply.

As well, I guess knowing a home address has never helped any robber to
break into a house.
