I believe part of the reason for that ^^^ would be to improve startup combustion stability. When the engine is started and cold the ECU retards the spark to increase exhaust gas temperature and warm the catalyst. EGR would cause misfires/torque fluctuation/etc.

As far as the coolant and block temperature goes, dunno.
