There are many reasons why we never did so, but I will give you 3 reasons.

1. Even though russia had more nukes then the U.S, we both had enough to blow up the whole world, once you reach that point numbers are irrelavant.

2. America had the best military in the world, but russia had the biggest. Quality vs. quantity.

3. The biggest reason, it would have started a ww3. It would be america, japan, West Germany, france, england, canada, mexico, brazil, egypt, israel, spain, italy, South Korea, India, australia, and ireland vs. Russia, china, North Korea, iran, yugoslavia, greece, east germany, venezuela, vietnam, and ukraine. I think if no nuclear weapons where used america would still win, but the world would be a diffrent place.
