Why can’t we just widen Panama Canal to like a mile wide and normalize all the water levels?

This is an incredibly stupid question, but I’d really like to know what the consequences of a project like this would be given the current drought in the lake that feeds the canal.

I imagine a lockless & sea level canal would suffer from a one-way current full of coastal waste to the other ocean or sea. Tides might be a problem too.
