Using the Insurrection Act to seize power would set a dangerous precedent that would open the door for even worse abuses of IA by future Democrats. On top of that, it would be trampling on the Constitutional process of the electoral college.
Before you say it, yes, I agree the electoral college was fraudulent. That doesn't mean we can change it using means outside of those prescribed by the Constitution. That would make Trump the dictator they accuse him of being and would essentially destroy this country as neither party would be recognized as following the Constitution.
In addition to disregarding the Constitution, using IA would likely start a civil war. It is better if the Democrats are the protagonists, for the sake of history.
