No, the point is "I don't like this person for whatever reason so I don't want to see their posts".
"I don't want this person to see my public posts" can be done by making an account private, or not posting the posts publicly.
Otherwise it opens the door to trollish behavior like reply-and-block-to-prevent-retort.
To stop harassment, reach out to the platform, assuming it cares about harassment, and if it doesn't, contact law enforcement, or file a lawsuit.
