"The current is the same in the entire circuit."
That is true in normal operation, but if a short develops in the wire, the current will be very high between the battery and the short. The fuse will only protect the circuit if it is located between the short and the battery. Shorts can happen anywhere that the wire rubs against something, especially the metal frame.
