What type of damage is the strongest/ most effective?

Question

I'm a gamer and have some questions about gaming with damage types, in game and real life.
In games kinetic damage is usually mid strength and elemental is stronger,

My question is shouldn't kinetic energy be the strongest?
 
My reasoning is that It contains a lot of impact force. explosions have high momentum and and destructive kinetic force. They are one of the the most deadly things we know, next to black holes, magnetar stars, gamma ray bursts and supernovas(witch still have kinetic energy) even a meteor impact could destroy planets, 
So why is things like fire, corrosive, somewhat wind and water stronger? And why in games kinetic damage have to be accompanied by critical damage in shooting a certain area?

In games that require damage to achieve or lose something, they have to strike a balance between making the game realistic, but also fun to play and achievable to complete.

Games would soon get boring or be impossible to complete if all damage was realistic, can you imagine playing any of the shooter games campaigns if the computer opponents killed you with one bullet, or every fall that would kill a human in real life killed you in the game, you would get nowhere

so I take your point, but the kind of kinetic damage you are talking about would wipe the game in one go
