Completely removing every kakuhou from a ghouls body would make them unable to store (and use) RC-Cells for any purpose. It would instantly stop their regenerative abilities, as well as making them unable to use their kagune. And though it's not canon yet, many things lead up to the theory that the ghouls wouold become "human-like".

While Kanou farmed Rize's kakuhou, he never completely removed it.
