   Yeh but surely the ABS would then work properly, as an adjusted bias valve never works properly.

   If you take the valve off the ABS will see the rear wheels locking and simply back off ALL your brakes. You will significantly reduce your braking efficiency. As to how much this will happen all depends on load and how you drive but I highly recommend against it.
