If they somehow break the encryption on your hard disk it’s just more security.. isn’t that what security’s all about? Getting the most safety you can get? What need is there to have an encrypted hard drive if your computer is air gapped? It’s just a better safer idea, no?

The assumption is that the encryption can only be broken via an evil-maid attack.

If you are victim of such an attack, the encryption of the file is broken as well.

Security is not about getting the most safety you can get. Otherwise why stop there? You could store the password protected private key itself as an encrypted file on the encrypted disk, and add one more layer, or double-encrypt it and add yet another layer etc.
