No one was supposed to sit on the throne for long. Only until the Webway could be maintained without someone controlling it. The Emperor was going to use magnus to hold it open for awhile. When the emperor was working on the portal he didnt need to sit on the throne and the dimension was stable. Magnus in his need to communicate with the Emperor tried to pierce through the barrier to reach the Emperor but could not because the barriers were too strong. Thats when Tzeetch offered him the power to breach it which he accepted.

MISTAKES WERE MADE!!!!

All hell broke loose as the the future of mankind was shattered before the Emperors eyes. Uniting the Imperium into one giant super hive ended in fire and Daemons. Also if he didn't sit on the damaged golden throne after he beat horus Daemons would spill into Terra itself.

Magnus is one of my favorite Primarchs but he basically ruined everything. Magnus, Horus, and Lorgar pretty much did the most damage in the Heresy.
