"Go fly a kite" is an allusion to Benjamin Franklin's famous electricity experiments.

This phrase belongs to group other similarly patterned ironic phrases where the speaker suggests the listener perform a dangerous activity such as flying a kite with full knowledge that the listener may be electrocuted. The listener is meant to infer that he is so unwanted that the speaker would wish him harm.
