Why would you want to have your engine take longer to reach the ideal operating temperature? Purpose of thermostat is to get it there asap.
Purpose of rad with air movement provided by car motion (or fans if such is insufficient) is to keep engine temp from rising more than just slightly above that ideal temperature.
