VERY bad idea! Your concerns, as expressed above, are 100% correct. That amount of weight projecting from the rear of that little trailer is, in my opinion, going to make it almost un-towable.
Also, I doubt that the frame of that trailer is designed to carry that amount of weight in the rear - even if it is on a separate receiver mounted to the frame. As far as a receiver tube mounted on the rear bumper, don't even think about it. The bumper will not carry that weight and the up/down motion of the bikes will most likely quickly rip it off of the trailer.
I would re-think this idea if I were you.
