Why is there a setting on toasters that would totally burn bread?
On my toaster it goes up to number 6. Even number 2 burns bread badly so why would anyone ever want or need it on number 6? Its the same for all of them - why?

Because bread isn’t the only thing toasters toast. Have you ever tried toasting a crumpet? It needs to be in there much longer than bread to get to a nice golden crispy texture. English muffins take longer to cook than bread too, but not as long as crumpets.
