have you whirlpooled before? If so, you'd see that all of the junk you're trying to collect in the center of the kettle is in suspension. That is why the rest is needed.
Without doing a rest, you'll be putting just as much in your fermenter if you hadn't whirlpooled at all. Maybe even a little more since without a whirlpool the proteins and hop bits have a chance to settle a little.
