The problem is that even if the number of bits on the fingerprint shrink, you're also lowering the selection size. It's a tradeoff, you can overdo it and certainly end up less anonymous than before. A bigger fingerprint might make it easier to identify you but if there are more fingerprints, there might also be more fingerprints that are exactly the same, thus being drowned by the mass.
