And through each gear I lift the clutch as I've seen from hundreds of videos. My question is, can you actually downshift through gears pressing in the clutch the whole time, never lifting it off (still shift through each individual gear and still blip the throttle each time you go through a gear, just not lifting the clutch until you reach the gear you want)?
Kind of a stupid question since I've never seen anyone do that... so what is the disadvantage or problems one would encounter if you never lift the clutch at the end of each blip?

Don't stab with your heel. The pedal is not nearly long enough (unless you have weird ultra flexible ankles...). You can thank unintended acceleration suits for that. Take a look at this:
