If you have something worthwhile then other people will link to it on websites and in social media like Google + , Facebook and Twitter. These are the links that webmasters should strive for and the sure fire way to get them is to create high quality sites that surfers love.
We're in the middle of a seismic shift in the way Google values links anyway, they have said time and time again that the focus is on quality. They have said it in different ways such as the Farmer and successive Panda updates.

Giving Google more information on your sites and how they are all interlinked is not a bad idea if you are squeaky clean. Why not use all the tools they provide? But 95% of the people reading this aren't squeaky clean. The more you give Google the more they possibly can find to penalize you for. If all your sites are easily linked together and they decide to get you, you might be royally fucked if they decide to penalize ALL your sites. You can say it never happens but you can't say it will never happen. Things can always change and there is no sure way to take back giving them all that data, is there?
