Dish washers usually drain through the sink because of simple logistics associated with their installation. The appliance is located near the sink in the kitchen because this is the center for cleaning and restoring to use our dishes. The dish washer doesn't use tons of water like a clothes washer, and if it is hooked up to drain through the sink (frequently through a port in a disposal), a separate drain line doesn't have to be run for it. It simply dumps the gray water out into the sink effluent line and it's all good.

So that any food that is in the dishwasher will be ground before getting to the drain, less chance of build up in the drain and to help keep the disposal cleaned out. Also it means you don't have to install a separate connection for the drain.

Why dish machine temperature are higher than manually sinks?

A dish washing machine is enclosed, so there is less risk of scalding, and a higher temperature is best to clean the dishes. Whilst dish washing at the sink is best with hot water, the water must be cool enough not to scald your hands.
