Why research? Why not go further and cut that bit out and just leave teaching?

I'm not convinced that the best place to teach student is necessarily the best place to do research at, and I'm pretty sure that your competence at being a good researcher has very little to do with your competence at being a good teacher.

Because the purpose of a university isn’t teaching. And you really cap yourself at undergraduate education if all you want to do is teach. Not is the purpose of professors to be good teachers.
