The problem is you hand government and courts the right to decide what is hate speech.
I’m the UK the government is already trying to classify anti-zionist speech as banned hate speech.
Laws are weapons, your enemies can use them against you.

Charlie Kirk would still be a piece of shit today if he wasn’t out and loud about being a piece of shit.

Without a platform, he would likely have had a much smaller impact, and likely also not even be as extreme in his views.
