if you state something based on previous work in the field even if its your own you should still cite it...

The implication that the reviewer thinks they're stupid and need to read more papers and try again.

Not that they're mis-citing works.

No should, but must.

In Academia, stupid as it is, if you use or cite previous work of yours without citing it, it's plagiarism.

It's not stupid. Anyone reading needs to know where a statement or conclusion comes from in case they need to check and see how that conclusion was reached in the first place.
