9. it gives data to the winner

If the winner gets 80% in all primaries, he/she can pretty much say FU to the other 20% Ds and work on the middle/right. If the winner barely squeaks by in all primaries, he/she needs to pay more attention to the Ds and specifically to the policy's of the opponents who came close. So it's important to vote for the candidate/issues you care about in the primaries, not the candidate you think is best for the general.
