So here are my three questions.

1. What is the design purpose of shutting off 1/2 the ceiling lights (all on the backside only)?
2. Does this 12v switch deactivate any other devices that I am not aware off?
3. If I bypass this switch by removing it and making these light live, will I damage anything?

For me, a lot of times I have the shower walls down to do maintenance and such. It is a pain erecting the walls just to get these lights to go on. Or sometimes when doing a fastsetup and not needing the bathroom, those lights won't work? Any suggestions would be helpful.
What Bill said. Safety issue.

Many have utilized a piece of angle iron or similar to depress the switch if they need light and the bathroom wall is down. Shouldn't be too difficult to fid something of the right size and shape to wedge in and just push. That would resolve the issue while keeping the safety.
