Do you want a proof of Ampere's Law? Some book really follows the way you said. I think it is just an example rather than a proof.
For the proof of Ampere Law, there is no need to use the delta function, although this method is more simple in my opinion. Some geometry calculation is enough, but it is more tricky to use this method.
L1 is the source current. $P$ is a field point at $\boldsymbol{r}_2$ whose magnetic field we are interested in, then we have, $\boldsymbol{B}(P)$ according to the Biot-Savart law
Then we calculate the line integral along $L_2$ passing through $P$.
$$\boldsymbol{B}(\boldsymbol{r}_2)\cdot\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{l}_2=\frac{\mu_0I}{4\pi}\oint_\limits{(L_1)} \frac{\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{l}_2\cdot (\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{l}_1\times\hat{\boldsymbol{r}}_{12})}{r_{12}^2}=\frac{\mu_0I}{4\pi}\oint_\limits{(L_1)} \frac{(\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{l}_2\times\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{l}_1)\cdot\hat{\boldsymbol{r}}_{12}}{r_{12}^2}$$$$=\frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi}\oint_\limits{(L_1)}\mathrm{d}\omega=\frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi}\omega$$
Usually it takes at least 20 minutes to make it clear in class. I wish I could tell you the name of the book I used. But unfortunately, it is writen in Chinese.
I present you the main points of the demonstration, and I think it would be clear to you if you are familiar with the integral and vector analysis. Just be clear that the -dl2×dl1 can be treated as the area between the souce L1 and the L1' which is of a small displacement dl2 relative to L1
Ok, now we are calculating $B(\vec{r_2})\cdot{d\vec{l_2}}$, where $d\vec{l_2}$ is a small displacement in the line integral $\oint_{(L_2)}$. Now we have
$$B(\vec{r_2})\cdot{d\vec{l_2}}=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\oint_{(L_1)}\frac{(-d\boldsymbol{l}_2\times d\boldsymbol{l}_1)\cdot\hat{\boldsymbol{r}}_{21}}{r_{21}^2}(1)$$
$(-d\boldsymbol{l}_2\times d\boldsymbol{l}_1)$ is just the area between line segment $-d\boldsymbol{l}_2$ and $d\boldsymbol{l}_1$. So if we consider the line integral in (1),
$$\oint_{(L_1)}(-d\boldsymbol{l}_2\times d\boldsymbol{l}_1)$$ is the area between two 'circle', $L_1$ and $L_1'$ (see the first figure of my first answer), where $L_1'$ is another circle with a displacement of $-d\boldsymbol{l}_2$ from $L_1$. But don't forget there is also $\hat{r}_{21}\over {r_{21}^2}$ in the line integral which gives the solid angle with respect to point ${\vec{P}}$.

Can you understand what I wrote this time? Then there is not much left for us to move on.
I really like the proof contained in the paper Derivation of the Biot-Savart Law from Ampere's Law Using the Displacement Current from Robert Buschauer (2013)
It's simple and it fulfills the role of convincing the reader.
Basically the author works with one point charge $q$ situated in origin of Z azis $(0,0,0)$. He supposes a particle moving in Z axis to positive Z values with velocity $v$. He creates a magnetic field line in a arbitrarious circle with $c$ radius, by symmetry, with center in $(0,0,a)$. The angle between any point in the circle and the center of circle starting from origin $(0,0,0)$ is $\alpha$.
Starting point is a part of 4th Maxwell's Equation of electromagnetism, the Ampere-Maxwell Law that consider changing electric flow with time in a area produces magnetic field circulation. This law generates a magnetic force that can be verified using special relativity that in another reference frame it's just a plain electric force.
$$\oint B\, dl = \mu_0\epsilon_0 \; d/dt(\int_A E.dA)$$
In the left side, the solution consists of integrating the $\oint B dl$ in this circle (butterfly net ring). As $B$ is constant by symmetry, we have
$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad \oint B\, dl = 2\pi c B \qquad\qquad$ (1)
In the right side $\;[\;\mu_0 \epsilon_0 d/dt (\int_A E\; dA \,)\;],\;$ as the surface (butterfly net) we choose a sphere of radius $r$, to ensure that all points have the same value of electric field:
$$ E = q / 4\pi\epsilon_0r^2$$
Let's first calculate the right-hand integral in the right side. We adopted here a slightly different standard in spherical coordinate. Just to remember,the element for integration into spherical coordinates is $\; r^2 \sin \phi \, dr \, d\phi \, dq $
Let $\theta$ (XY axis) vary from $0$ to $2\pi$ and by consider the angle $\phi$ with the vertical (Z axis) from 0 to $\alpha$.
$$\Phi_E = \int_A E\; dA = q/4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2 \int_A dA = q/(4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2) r^2 \int_{0,2\pi} d\theta \int_{0,\alpha} \sin \Phi\; d\Phi = $$
$$q/4\pi \epsilon_0 2\pi ( -\cos \alpha + 1) = q/2\epsilon_0 (1 - cos\alpha)$$
Thus
$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\Phi_E = \mu_0 q /2 (1 - cos\alpha)$
$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad d \Phi_E / dt = - q/2\epsilon_0 d \cos \alpha/dt\qquad$(2)
Putting $\alpha$ as a function of $z$, we have, by the chain rule:
$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad d \cos \alpha/dt = (d \cos\alpha/dz) \; (dz/dt)\qquad$(3)
However as $z$ is decreasing with the motion at velocity $v$, we have
$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad dz / dt = -v \qquad $(4)
On the other hand:
$$ \cos \alpha = z / r = z / \sqrt{c^2 + z^2}$$
Using this online tool for derivation:
$d \cos \alpha/dz = c^2/r^3$ where $r = \sqrt{c^2 + z^2}$
$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad 2\pi c B = q \mu_0 /2 v (c^2/r^3)\qquad$ By (1),(2),(3),(4)
$$B = \mu_0 q v c / 4\pi c r^3$$
but $\quad\sin \alpha = c / r\quad$ so we can add $\quad \sin \alpha\; r / c$:
$$B = \mu_0 q v \sin \alpha /4\pi r^2 $$
Vectorizing we have a cross product:
$$B = \mu_0 q \; v\uparrow \times r\uparrow /4\pi r^3$$
In some infinitesimal point we can consider a element of electric current as a point charge, so we can add other charge points by integration (any force is addictive!) for using in real applications. Thus we have in scalar notation:
$$dB = \mu_0 dq \; v \; r \sin \alpha /4\pi r^2$$
Considering $\quad dq = i\;dt\quad$ and $\quad v = ds/dt\quad $, we finally have reached to Biot-Savart law:
$$dB = \mu_0 i \; ds \; r \sin \alpha /4\pi r^2$$
Best Answer
First of all I would like to give you an answer to what the magnetic field will be for an infinitely long straight current carrying wire.
Magnetic field due to straight current carrying wire (infinite length)
Consider a wire of infinite length, carrying current $I$. The magnetic field strength due to that wire at a some point $P$ situated at distance $r$ from the wire can be calculated as follows:
From Ampere's Law,
$$\oint \boldsymbol B\cdot \mathrm d\boldsymbol l = \mu_0 I,$$
Where $\oint \boldsymbol B\cdot \mathrm d\boldsymbol l$ = Line integral of magnetic field along circular path. As angle between the vector $B$ and $\mathrm d\boldsymbol l$ is $0^0$,
$$\oint \boldsymbol B\cdot \mathrm d\boldsymbol l = \oint \boldsymbol B\cdot \mathrm d\boldsymbol l \cos0 = \boldsymbol B\oint \mathrm d\boldsymbol l$$
But $\oint \mathrm d\boldsymbol l = \boldsymbol {2\pi r}$ (Circumfrence of the circular path of radius $\boldsymbol r$)
$$\oint \boldsymbol B\cdot \mathrm d\boldsymbol l=\boldsymbol B \times \boldsymbol {2\pi r}$$
But $\boldsymbol B \times \boldsymbol {2\pi r}=\boldsymbol \mu_0$ thus,
$$\boldsymbol B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}= \frac {\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac {2I}{r}$$
Explanation (Why can't you use Ampere's law for a finite length wire):
What you have to understand in the above case is that the assumption of an infinite wire means that the Magnetic field will have the same magnitude (at distance $\boldsymbol r$ from the wire) at any point parallel to the axis of the wire.
In case of a finite wire, the Magnetic field will vary in strength depending on how far from the ends of the wire the point in space is, and its direction is no longer exactly parallel with the circle drawn around the wire.
In such circumstances it is more ideal to use the Biot-Savart law instead of Ampere's law
