For many many many reasons. The biggest being his formular E=mc2 which means energy and mass are interchangeable. If you set paper on fire it gives off heat, light and ash in the form of energy. Added together it totals exactly the same. It just changed form. As with splitting the atom it creates sheer energy, whereas in the big bang the exact opposite happened. All the matter in the universe came from one really small but nearly infinitely powerful explosion. They just changed form :) So he figured a lot of things out and proved his theories too. Allthough a genius he is not classed as the most clever to live.... Newton holds that title.

Einstein warned the United States that Japan was building the atom bomb.

That's close! He, and other concerned physicists, were actually trying to warn Roosevelt that they felt Germany was on the path to building an atom bomb. But Japan actually did have a small nuclear weapons program though it was far behind that of the United States.

As Cap mentions, Einstein wrote a famous letter to FDR in 1939 at the urging of Leo Szilard, warning that an atomic bomb might be possible, and that the Germans might be able to build one. It's generally considered one of the more important catalysts for the Manhattan Engineering District program, which actually built three atomic weapons in the last two years of the war, two of which were used to end the war in the Pacific.
