As to the ongoing discussion as to why Kirk did not use the
transporter to destroy the Genesis device, I submit the following
argument. Kirk DID think of it when he said they would beam over
and stop the device.  David then said bluntly, "You can't".
This means the only use would be to beam the device as far
away as possible which was already discussed here earlier and
dismissed. 

This is the way I remember it.
