Why do you all love check raising flop so much more than calling and leading the turn?

What is the advantage of check/calling and then leading?
Check raising exposes the strength of your hand and therefore allows you to get a read on his hand base on his reaction.
When you C/C and then lead, you have allowed the hand to move to the turn and you still have no idea where you stand. So when you lead bet gets raised you are now sitting with your thumb up your butt.. are you ahead, behind, does he had AQ too?... you have no idea and no cheap way of finding out.

if I Cr and am called i got the same information as leading for the same price except on a later street.. i think chk call and lead is good as well unless im missing something.

Several problems:
1. He can raise you with air often and give you an impossible decision.
2. He can raise you with draws and force you to often fold the best hand.
3. He can raise you with made hands.
4. You have no way of knowing which he raised you with.
5. If he calls you have no idea what cards are good/bad for him.
6. If he's tricky he can float the turn and bet/push the river on you.
There's more but that's just off the top of my head.
Edit: Basically you place yourself in a spot where villain can play perfectly vs you but you can't play perfectly vs him.
