Because they are very good all-round units with good enough stats to completely destroy measly trash units. Halberdiers are only anti-cavalry and get destroyed by everything else, Hussars are only good against archers and siege and at raiding and have terrible raw stats so they get murdered by Champions, and Skirmishers deal almost no damage to anything other than archers and Halberdiers, so Champions can easily resist their shots, get up close, and kill them. Knights are countered by Halberdiers and cost more gold than Champions, so naturally they are not a trash buster since they don't counter every single trash unit whereas champs do.
