A:It is not so much that Matthew compresses the genealogy of Jesus, as that this genealogy was written to demonstrate something about Jesus. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says there is little likelihood that this genealogy or the parallel on in Luke's Gospel is strictly historical. Matthew (summarised in 1:17) demonstrates that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus, through Joseph. To do this, the author had to compress the traditional Old Testament genealogy, ignoring three kings, and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah. Then, we have no possible way of verifying Matthew's list of Jesus' ancestors from the time of the Exile. Fourteen and seven were regarded as auspicious numbers, so by this means Matthew demonstrates that Jesus was destined for greatness.
Truly God and truly man, immutable, compassionate, just, bold ... Edit: The three characteristics listed in the question are unbiblical when applied to Jesus.

Jesus calms the storm: Jesus and his disciples were on a boat when a fierce storm arose. Jesus rebuked the winds and the waves, calming the sea. This display of power showed the disciples Jesus's authority over nature. Feeding of the 5,000: Jesus miraculously fed a large crowd of 5,000 with just five loaves of bread and two fish. This event demonstrated Jesus's compassion for the hungry and his ability to provide abundantly even in times of scarcity. Walking on water: Jesus walked on water to meet his disciples who were in a boat struggling against the waves. Peter also briefly walked on water towards Jesus before losing faith and sinking. This miracle reinforced Jesus's divine nature and the importance of faith in following Him.

A reference to the Davidic genealogy. Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah, and Jehoiakim, four Jewish kings; 1Chronicle 3. Ahaziah reigned but one year. Joash reigned forty years and both Kings and Chronicles affirm that "He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord" (2 Kings xii, 2; 2 Chron. xxiv, 2). Amaziah reigned twenty-nine years, and he, too, "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord" (2 Kings xiv, 3). These four Kings was omitted in Mathews, for what reason, only the anonymous author [of Matthews] knows.
