How is that going to help?

Because Russia (and, well, lots of other countries, including China and the US) commonly runs, amongst other things, foreign intelligence and influence operations out of consulates and embassies on a covert basis. Officially closing embassies/consulates tends to make it harder for hostile states that own those properties to execute hostile actions within the host country.

Protecting your own infrastructure is an escalation!

Why don’t you just sign up to fight for Russia, you love it so much?
