Yeah and the energy? You will move our little planet against its atmosphere
Most of the military machines I used to fly had too much thrust to set TO power. You would be dissipating energy by removing rubber from the bottom of your locked wheels. We set power on the roll after establishing an intermediate power.

If you are able to hold the aircraft with the brakes, the energy from the engines is dissipated by stirring up the atmosphere.
