I don't work in a chemistry lab. But why is the boiling point of water not important there?

It is important, but more important is having absolute 0, which Celsius doesn't have.

The other problem with Celsius and the boiling point is that the boiling point changes depending on air pressure, which changes depending on elevation. So it's not always 100°C.
