Overfilling is bad because the crankshaft dips into it causing power loss and worse is that when the crankshaft constantly does that it causes the oil to foam the foam might get sucked by the oil pump. This foam contains air which reduces the lubricating properties of the oil. better get it reduced.
agreed. if over max limit:-
1) less power and feel engine "heavy"
2) extra pressure put on the engine
3) worse case is the gasket might be leaking in long term due to over pressure...
4) due to engine heave, driver tend to feed more petrol, thus higher FC

How much is too far over the maximum line? 1mm? 2mm? 1cm? Satu inci? Anything less than a cm is fine and you don't have to worry about it. The moment the engine starts, the level will drop below the crankshaft and would not be a problem.
If you have 1-2 inches over max, then yes, you have to remove it. Don't have to take everything out. The mech can just loosen the screw at the oil sump and drain some out.
