Why would I want to bring down dynamic compression?

Its only about 21:1 or 22:1 running up to maybe 20lb of boost.
To control temperature and pressure inside the cylinder I am going to use an intercooler and water injection.

Adiabatic compression calculations put me at about 1100psi and 1400'F just running N/A, Think thats high?
I ran the numbers for hot uncooled boost and I was getting numbers as high as 3000psi and 4000'f
And thats before the fuel get injected.
