The turbocharger compresses the air to allow the engine to burn more oxygen/fuel in each combustion cycle.
When the turbo compresses the air, the air rises in temperature (due to thermodynamics). The intercooler helps cool that air down before it enters the engine to further improve the density for a more efficient combustion (and less chance of detonation or pre-ignition).
The exhaust gases aren't strongly tied to the intake air temperature, and will always be "hot"
