Great, so now instead of a password to remember, I have to remember a link? How is that substantially different from carrying around emails with passwords in them? Or with dynamic links, I now have to go through a separate application with an extra click-link-to-login-then-close-tab-and-find-original-tab motion?
Instead of logging in by opening a password safe, I now have to log in by opening email... and have a new source of email clutter... and can't share an account with other people... and disposable emails for signing up to less reputable services becomes less of an option.
And what happens when you move email addresses? Or there's a problem with email (delays are common)? A password safe that relies on an asynchronous messaging protocol? Yuck.
