Even assuming that you're not a bad hire, it can still be a bad idea to allow this. If the decision makers can go over the heads of the people who are in charge of technical hiring and force them to take on someone they haven't vetted then that's just going to cause resentment.
I don't mind skipping HR so much. But skipping the technical-vetting step is bad. If your hiring-committee doesn't make good decisions, that's a separate problem that you should solve without just starting to ignore them.
