The water does a great job at steam cleaning carbon deposits out of the combustion chambers and reducing peak cylinder pressures & EGT's. With an intercooler you aren't relying on the water to do all the intake temp reduction (so you can use less water) but it is still very beneficial and will help drop the temps even further.
