Why should rationalists necessarily care a lot about other people?

They shouldn't, particularly. End goals are not a part of rationality, rationality exists to achieve them.

However, many end goals can be more easily achieved by getting help from others. If your end goals are like this, it's rational for you to solve group coordination problems and care about other people.
