Why lead into the reraiser if you know he will cbet? Checkraising and pushing the turn is easy. "Playing poker" can get you into trouble against this guy with this hand.

You lead into the villain b/c your hand crushes his range. So, if you goal is to get it all in on the flop (like the check-raise you are advocating), then you want maximum value for your bet.
Do you want his fold to your all-in to come after you check, he bets 1.5K, and you raise AI? Or after you bet 1K, he raises to 4K, then you push AI? If your hand crushes his range, you want him to commit as many chips as possible before you take it down with the push.
This is accomplished through 3-betting AI more easily than through check-raising AI.
