Heat resistance generally reduces a pathogens fitness at normal temps. The human body is also far more heat resistant than individual viruses thanks to being a big multi cellar organism with many expendable cells. A fever isn't your only method of dealing with viruses either, you're just stacking the deck against them do your immune system has a better time.
