Because you have opened up your skin and underneath that are nerves. When you expose those nerves they do several things and one is hurt when they are touch in any way because they are sensitive.

Well, the water rushing into the cut raises pressure and activates pain sensors- try keeping the cut under cold water an that'll stop the bleeding.

Because of of the chemicals in the water it makes the tissue inside the cut bigger and can get an infection so keep a bandage over it

They sting because after bleeding stops, your cut is currently trying to heal. ( form a scab) . If any liquid enters, it hits the cuts nerves, which alerts the brain that the cut is being attacked. via water. ( water has germs)

they usually don't with just water, if you get them wet with vinegar, lemon juice or tomato juice etc, then it's because of the various acids in these liquids
