Ok, we work in trusted environment. How can we turn this behavior off?

Why does git compute checksums on the client side? Isn't it already

Yes. But Git clients can't trust the server like that.
The only way to make sure the server didn't send you crap data, or worse
maliciously altered data, is actually to not transfer any checksum data
but to recompute and validate the received payload locally.
This being said, you should never have to wait 6 hours for that phase to
complete. It is typically a matter of minutes if not seconds.
