There's a good reason to avoid bums completely independent of donating money: they smell horrible and are generally unpleasant to be close to. Crossing the street to avoid the smell or risk from them seems perfectly sane goal-directed behavior to me
Even when beggars don't smell, it's rational to avoid socially awkward situations, if you are bothered by them. This is the same reason I don't answer the phone when I know it's a telemarketer calling.
