I'm quite sure the Transporter didn't have the range to transport it so far that the wave effect wouldn't reach the Enterprise. The scene I miss most in the movie, that was in the book, is the computer game Boojum Hunt that two of the Genesis scientists use to fool Khan. Of course, they paid terribly for their cleverness...
