That would defeat the purpose. The goal is to make the length of the calendar year as close as possible to the length of the mean tropical year, which is the average time it takes the earth to go from a certain point in its orbit of the sun, let's say for example the vernal equinox, around the sun and back to that same point again. The problem is that calendar makers only work with whole days, but the mean tropical year is not a multiple of a whole day. It is approximately 365.2422 days. The solution is to give some calendar years 365 days and to give about 24.22% of calendar years 366 days, so that the average days per calendar year ends up being 365.2422 days, the same as the actual tropical year. Actually, in the Gregorian calendar, 24.25% of all years have 366 days. It's not perfect, but it's about 25 times more accurate than the Julian calendar, in which 25% of all years have 366 days.
