I recently bought a new radiator for my integra, but one of the inlets for the transmission cooler is stripped out, and I cannot put the hose adapter on it.
My question is, would it be a bad thing to not use the transmission cooler at all? I was thinking I could just take the two hoses from the transmission and connect them together somehow so there is flow, and not connect them to the cooler.

You could move the car that way. but you shouldn't drive it on the road. You'll kill the tranny.
