well if you want to bypass the core then you do need to connect the two lines on the engine side, so they can still circulate the coolant properly.
But just because you do this, and if you hav other issues causeing the overheating like a stuck/bad thermostat, it still will overheat. Is that whats happening Now, overheating?

You definitely need to connect the two hoses together. The cooling system has no bypass route so the fluid needs to circulate through.
