No, unplugging it will not stop the EGR cooler from failing...the hot gases will still be there to melt the solder and cause a leak.
You're not dreaming...unplugging the EGR does give you better throttle response....nothing spectacular, but still a bit.
I know it's a bit apples and oranges comparison, but I remember my dad deleting the EGR from our brand new '78 Buick Skylark...the car went from 18 to 22MPGs.
"Fixing" my EGR and cooler got me better MPGs, but we're only talking about a couple....still, I'll take what I can get.
