You need a new mechanic then as that makes no sense whatsoever! The EGR is what it is, exhaust gas recycling valve.. Putting dirty air back in. How could stopping that and only letting fresh clean air in be anything but a good thing?

No I don't he's the only mechanic to be honest and the only one I trust to work my cars, his view on EGR blanking is it will increase emissions and could cause damage to other components such as the CAT.
