WHY? Already answered. To send a message.
Why put nukes on bombers and fly them along the borders of the Soviet Union? To send a message.
Why put nukes on submarines that patrol the borders of the Soviet Union? To send a message.
Why put nukes on missiles that can reach the Soviet Union? To send a message.
NONE of those messages were declarations of war.
