We need to take in germs in order to get resistance to them. So aren't we don't a disservice by washing our hands all the time? Obviously, we need to from time to time but not on the regular

The phrase "eat shit and die" actually dates back to ancient Ohio where people experimented with this concept but they died.

As a self-claimed medical expert, I always take this advice to heart as I proceed to cough on younger children and give them the gift of better immune systems:
"You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want"
TLDR: Yes you get a better immune system by letting your hands experience the real world.

I think so. At least in the early stages of life it is good to be interacting with many kinds of bacteria and microbes in order to build a good immune system.

Just lick your nearest public toilet seat and watch the magic happen.

This is the way. For best results, search public records for restraunts with a history of food poisoning to find the optimal toilet seats.
