If punishment is effective in stopping something that is bad and stopping something that would otherwise be repeated by the perpetrator of others if it went unpunished, then it is an evidence-based justified adaptation for the group.

I'd be interested in whether anyone has studied whether the utility gained through punishment involves more the abstract *act* of punishing the wicked (even if no one else knows), or more the knowledge that others will hold you in higher esteem for the act (virtue signaling).

It's adaptive, hence rational, since punishing perpetrators deters future crimes, whereas compensating victims does not. (Indeed, compensating victims can inspire fraudulent claims of victimhood.)
