They are already evolving faster than we can fight them, that is why there is new flu every year, and resistant TB, and new flesh eating bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
Quite a bit of ground was gained in the past but we have been barely keeping up lately.

We would probably all die. Some organisms that cause disease might be dtrimental to us but might be benefitial for another organism. This of course might lead to a giant chain reaction where the bottom producers might die off and will slowly work its way up the food chain. However assuming there's no effect besides "wiping out all diseases" assuming we live for the next couple hundred million years we might evolve away the need for a defense mechanism for our bodies since there would be nothing to fight and would just waste energy.
of course this is all speculation

Can't happen -- diseases evolve.
But if people were never exposed to diseases, their immune system would turn inwards and you would see an increase in auto-immune disorders.

disease is population control so as fast as we cure or eliminate them more are popping up to change our environment
