Why did the Boeing B-29 (a bomber during WWII) need to carry a larger payload than other American bombers?

They needed a larger payload to drop more than just one bomb on a territory. This would help to destroy more than just a small area of enemy territory.

more payload means more bombs to be drop, which means more devastating effect, which means enemy morale and war production may decrease
