And this putty is as good as the asbestos for heat resistance? Why not just make the entire shuttle out of it?

Probably it's as good for heat resistance on one trip. The tiels are designed to last for several reentries. The Giant Drushokan Space Booger would get the job done once, but it would have to be rebuilt after every flight.
Makes me think of that SNL skit about the "Adobe" car.
