What if king does not take bishop, I think the damage will be more limited.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe this is why you cannot move away,

On move 3 the Knight would take the Black knight, not the bishop.

well, if the king does not take the bishop,instead moves to c8, then white's profit is only two points. if the king moves to a8, it is a bad position for black.for example,1...bxc7,2.ka8....bxd8,3.nxd8...rc1. then black has to deprive the protection of the mating square.
