Removing Python 3 will destroy the operational state of your system because so many things depend on it. DO NOT remove Python 3 from your system. Instead, address the actual errors you're seeing, rather than assume that Python 3 being present is the cause.

Ubuntu 16.04 comes with Python3 installed by default. If you want to install Python 2 you can run:
sudo apt install python-minimal
On the command line you should use python3 or python2 to execute scripts.
Also take note that ubuntu-desktop is a package that will install a full display system such as X server and Gnome packages, none of which you'll have much use for if connecting over SSH.
However, the problem you may have now is that you've attempted (or succeeded to some degree) in removing Python, which is actually what the package management tool apt uses to install/remove packages.

This seems like an XY-problem. Problem Y, uninstalling Python 3, will break your OS. Don't do that.
Problem X is not clear, but assuming it's that the system Python 3 executable is damaged, you can reinstall it via the package python3.5-minimal:
