They are somewhat pointless because of the GXbowmen which are far superior, though I agree with you it makes no sense not to have them available. Their tree is already lacking (no paladins? haha) and if a unit is going to be a less useful alternative to another why not add it in the tree?

The problem is the game is more oriented towards balancing than historical accuracy, we should not even argue about such things. I cannot resist it though.
