Seriously??!!
It does a diesel no good whatsoever to have the inlet clogged up with oily sludge! It's not in the service schedule as it means Ford can charge for new EGR valves.
They're not meant to run like it, and I think it's bizarre that you think so.
Ford designed the EGR system the way they did to control emissions - the fact that it greatly affects reliability, performance, fuel economy and reliability isn't their concern.
It's a well known fact that cleaning out your EGR and inlet increases performance and fuel economy. There are countless posts and threads on Mondeo forums about it. Maybe Ford should have a read of them!!
