This has been discussed before, actually. The problem with doing it that way is that Dunwall has a finite amount of whale oil, and they're already in short supply. With as many bodies as they have, they would run out of oil way before they managed to rid of all of them (heck, even a fraction of them, I would bet), so then they're still dealing with a plague and have no way to heat their homes or keep the rat lights on. With the sheer volume of bodies that they have, don't that just simply isn't practical.
