My dealer told me that the lining on the inside of the hood is meant to smother a possible fire. The plastic plugs that hold the lining are supposed to melt and the lining is supposed to drop onto the engine if it gets too hot in there. I wouldn't take the risk that that would happen if you took off the heat shield.
There has to be a purpose to everything that the manufactur installs in your car. It may not seem useful, but it must serve a purpose to some extend. It does get HOT under there after highway drives.
