The idea of allowing the safety car to go faster is that the tires, brakes of the race cars would be hotter and closer to race temperatues, and therefore safer when racing is resumed. The safety car could still slow down when it reached "the incident", the same as it does now.

True, but if the safety car was going at speeds closer to normal racing speeds then the pack would potentially arrive at the sight of the incident more often. This would place F1 cars, even ones going slower than normal, on the same piece of road as people. I think this is something to be avoided wherever possible.
