The GND (or Earth/GND) is there for safety and equipotential bonding. It’s not meant to carry current and running current through it will trigger your RCD, because that’s how a ground fault is detected. And detecting that is important so when you trip with your hairdryer into the bathtub you won’t kill yourself.
