Why can't the quadratic formula be simplified to $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-b\pm(b-2)\sqrt{ac}}{2a}$? I am currently taking Algebra 1 (the school year's almost over ), and we just learned the quadratic formula, another method to solve quadratic equations:
$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$
However, this strikes me as not being simplified. Isn't it more proper to write it like this?
$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$
$$x=\frac{-b\pm(\sqrt{b^2}-\sqrt{4ac})}{2a}$$
$$x=\frac{-b\pm((b-2)\sqrt{ac})}{2a}$$
$$x=\frac{-b\pm(b-2)\sqrt{ac}}{2a}$$
Why isn't $x=\frac{-b\pm(b-2)\sqrt{ac}}{2a}$ more commonly used as the quadratic formula??
I'm sorry for my typo, I have edited it.
I have now edited in my steps, per request of commenters.

Because $\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}\neq 2b\sqrt{ac}$. Say for example that $c = 0$ and $b\neq 0$. Then you have
\begin{align*}
\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} &= \sqrt{b^2}\\
&= \left|b\right|\\
&\neq 0,
\end{align*}
so you can see that this simplification cannot be correct.
It seems that in your proposed simplification, you have completely disregarded the subtraction occurring in the radical. Moreover, $\sqrt{b^2} = \left|b\right|$, not just $b$. To see this with an example, take $b = -1$. Then $\sqrt{(-1)^2} = \sqrt{1} = 1 = \left|-1\right|\neq -1$.

EDIT:
Again, the simplification is incorrect. While it is true in general that $\sqrt{a^2b} = \left|a\right|\sqrt{b}$, this is not the situation you are in here:
$$
b^2 - 4ac\neq (b - 2)^2 ac = (b^2 - 4b + 4)ac = b^2 ac - 4abc + 4ac.
$$
You seem to have made a few mistakes here (if I'm to take a stab at the reasoning behind the simplification): first you've incorrectly simplified $b^2 - 4ac$ as $(b^2 - 4)ac$ (which is not true, because the first term in the former has no $ac$), and then you've simplified $b^2 - 4$ as $(b - 2)^2$, which is also not true (take $b = 0$ to see why). In general, $(x + y)^n\neq x^n + y^n$: this is a common mistake algebra learners make! Remember that when expanding $(x + y)^2$, we need to use the distributive property, and not simply regard squaring as linear:
\begin{align*}
(x + y)^2 &= (x + y)(x + y)\\
&= x^2 + yx + xy + y^2\\
&= x^2 + 2xy + y^2.
\end{align*}
