Burning hametz is a b’dieved.  In an ideal world we would eat all of our hametz
before zman issuro.  So Hazal gave us time to eat hametz in the morning, and instituted
biur hametz soon enough before noon that we wouldn’t violate any issurim, but not much
before that.  Otherwise why not do the biur right after bedika?
