Classically, if an electron were in orbit around a proton, it should

proton and the electron going to explode or something? I see nothing
wrong with the idea that the electron falls directly on the proton and
they get attached like two magnets.

Rutherford experiment disproved it more than a century ago. Your model
is a variant of the "plum pudding" model of the atom, at least in
terms of scattering experiments. Rutherford showed that any of a broad
class of theories of this type are strictly ruled out.

There you go ... casually dismissing a possibly very important atomic
model due to an archaic and crude experiment performed over a 100
years ago.

YOU are the one "casually dismissing" more than a century of empirical
data which contradicts your pet tinkertoy theory.
