I agree with you that telling them what is wrong with them while you're breaking up with them is cruel. Tell them that if they still want to know in a couple months they should give you a call and you'll tell them then. Chances are that they won't call.
I suppose it would be okay, in most situations, to give them the censored, sugar-coated version of what's wrong. But to be like, "So anyway, I'm breaking up with you out of the blue, and by the way, you suck in bed and you're not very smart" just seems kind of . . . mean.
Also, the only reason they would want to know such things is so that when they're bitching about the breakup to their friends they can make you into the villain. "And then -- he told me that I suck in bed and I'm not smart enough for him, wah!" "How DARE he? You're too good for him!" That sort of thing.
