When we throw our sins, symbolically in the water by Tashlich, we're making a very powerful statement. I am not defined by my actions. I'm not a bad person. I'm a good person who've done bad things. My averos, my sins, I'm going to cast them off cuz they're not me. I'm not going to throw my arm in cuz my arm is me. We don't throw away body parts, but our sins are not us. The very fact that we symbolically throw it in the water is because I recognize I need to remove these actions, but these actions are not me. I am not defined by my actions.
