Pass me to your interior designer

Not stupid if it works.
Let’s see the squirrels chew through this one.

You still need screen to keep the bugs out. And the squirrels can fit through the holes and get at the screen.

So yeah, this design is kinda bad. At least in areas with squirrels.

Not if you put hardware cloth in front of the screen
Make it super metal and use chainmail.
