From Daniel Stern on an old usenet post:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
It's called a bulb shield. The purpose is primarily to eliminate upward stray light (between 10 degrees up and 90 degrees up, relative to the headlamp axis) that would cause backdazzle in inclement weather. It also shields the filament from direct view by oncoming and preceeding drivers, minimising direct glare. Some headlamps don't use shields; direct glare and upward stray are controlled by other means (bulb positioning, lens optics and angle, etc.), OR direct glare and upward stray aren't really controlled much at all and you have a lousy headlamp. There's a lot of that going around.
</TD></TR></TABLE>

So, no, removing the bulb shield won't do anything good for you or other drivers.
