This is one of the common misunderstood point of the healing signs in the 4 Gospels.
Jesus didn't perform those healings because he took pity and was kind to those who are sick.

Don't get me wrong, Jesus is love and is definitely kind. Rather the healings were prophesied, as stated in my point 2. They were all healings to testify his identity to Israel.
The problem I see here is that you insist on reading one purpose into a passage. Jesus healed the sick, in line with what Old Testament prophecy said about Him, but that does not mean He did not heal out of compassion also. Paul and Barnabas performed signs among the Gentiles. Those don't have to be specific signs from a Messianic prophecy you can point to the the OT to be signs.
You seem to be interpreting scripture trying to find excuses for the parts about signs and wonders not being ongoing. But you have no Biblical justification for this presupposition.
