You're proving what I already suspected: That you are one of those
people who have picked up some sort of half-knowledge and now think they
know a great deal and that they could make decisions for others because
they know so much better. This kind of people is far worse than the
clueless kind.
Start thinking things through: You assume the clueless user who is
totally overwhelmed when presented with the partitioning stage in the
Debian installer. Obviously, it doesn't occur to you that this user
might make a mistake which could lead to him losing the only working
system he has and all his priceless data. Do I need to say any more?
Keep your hands off of the Debian installer and stay away from computers
and cars.

I don't see much point in repeating myself.

The Debian installer doesn't give you a working system unless they
recently changed that.
