The UK can’t do that without ripping up its international treaty obligations.
Which would put us exactly where the US wants us to be, and where the US puts almost all of the rest of it's treaty partners - in lopsided bilateral agreements which end up benefiting a select few, mostly on the US side
Of course, we could renege on these, but it’s not a great way to start our new existence- international pariah.
Plus ca change.

Also, the US is unlikely (as in, they’ve said they won’t) sign a trade deal with us if we fuck the Irish, which your course of action would do.
