Backup Catcher and DH

I really do not see the problem with your backup Catcher being your full-time DH as well. This most often comes up with Max, but why not let Salty have more at-bats in the DH spot this past season. If your catcher goes down and you insert the DH to play catcher in the field just pinch hit for the pitcher the rest of the game or just let the pitcher hit. It is just one game. If you need to call another catcher up if the starter is hurt then do it. I do realize this is not a good idea if you are in the playoffs or a must win game. However, during the regular season I do not see the harm in it. So what does this hurt during the regular season?
