One reason why there are mastering engineers is to balance/tweak the sound which the mixing engineer created, and to make the sound quality and loudness of every track "match" with the others, and to sound good/great against competitors in the marketplace.Another reason is cost. Nobody in their right mind would spend the money to do that job while sitting in a recording studio control room full of stuff, with an expensive studio on the other side of the glass. Mastering rooms are "bare bones" and specifically designed for a different specific purpose.
Lastly, there is no "one proper" level or EQ setting to hear a recording "as the mastering engineer intended". Another part of their job is to make the recording sound good in a variety of playback environments at a variety of levels.
