Are the sidewalks secretly booby-trapped? Are they against your religion? Do you get some sort of crazy frisson of satisfaction from sticking it to the man by being a moron?
Motorists are totally entitled to beep at you. Cyclists are entitled to give you a weird look.
Roads are for vehicles. Sidewalks are for walking. I'm not entirely sure, but I bet there's a reason for this. It might be safety. Maybe? No, surely not.

A related issue: why do groups of people stand still in the middle of the sidewalk? As you say, sidewalks are for walking. It's even right in the name.
I asked myself this very question not two days ago as I watched a woman walk down the middle of the street I live on. A street that has very nice, serviceable sidewalks, I might add.
