The clutch fans move a huge amount of air coupled with a shroud. My 455 in a 62 Catalina with an OE style copper/brass radiator runs 195 degrees max in 90+ degree humid Ohio weather. As soon as I can get on open road and cruise, it comes right back to 180. You are right, 210 won't hurt the engine but it will run better at 180-185.
