Yeah, don't do that. If you want to be on the sidewalk, walk your bike.

As a pedestrian, I won't move away from the path of bikes on the sidewalk, even if you have to fall down "because" of me.

This depends entirely on the density of a sidewalk. If you have a densely populated sidewalk (e.g. New York/Chicago sidewalks), then bikes should be walked while on the sidewalk. If it is a sidewalk in a suburb, where there are 1-2 pedestrians per hour at busy times, then I'm going to continue riding my bike.
