if electrical extension cords are meant to be used to connect to an outlet farther away then why is it still bad to plug certain things into them Ex: electric heaters, A/C units and so on?

Extension cords are irrelevant as long as you don’t stack and coil them under full load (which would let them heat up).
Fire hazards mainly occur when power strips without fuses are being overloaded by having too many high power devices plugged into them. Something will burn eventually, and if it isn’t a fuse then it’s going to be the power strip.
