Why would it be dangerous to exceed Mach speed?

Because the air starts buffeting over the wings and the wings lose lift

Well, duh. A knot is a nautical mile, and you wouldn't be driving at sea.

That’s any aircraft though operating at its max altitude. That altitude can fluctuate depending on weight also.
