WI the US only made Tank Destroyers in WWII

What if the US had said to hell with the Sherman tank and only build M-10 , M-18's and M-36 Tank destroyers

IIRC, a problem would be that the 76 mm in the tank destroyers did not posess as good of a HE shell as the 75mm gun in the M-4. Perhaps this need would be fulfilled with more M-7s. However, all these vehicles lacked protection against shrapnel. Consequently, I imagine the opposition would be using more shrapnel timed for airbursts to destroy American armor.
