Expense vs impact.

ICBMs only make sense in the context of nuke weapons, or possibly bio (with a very sophisticated dispersal device).
While amazingly accurate, the circle of probable error is large enough that even with the high kinetic energy added to a conventional E warhead, the damage inflicted would be too small for the cost.
Cruise missles are more appropriate for the kind of activity you seem to be contemplating.
