No, you're entirely right. Throwing swords never was a thing (outside of Zelda) as it is an incredibly inefficient mode of combat.

Throwing spears from horseback (and camelback) did actually happen, but I'm not sure to which extent, and wether the mamelukes did it.

All in all, the AoE3 unit is a much more historically accurate representation.
