The thing with torpedo bombers is that they can be equipped with regular bombs and used as level bombers if the situation demands it. For example the B5Ns could be loaded with 800 kg bombs in either HE or AP variants. In fact an AP variant of this bomb was responsible for sinking USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor.

The fact that torpedo bombers can attack installations in this game can be explained that they're equipped with regular bombs instead of torpedoes for those particular bombing runs. And why the dive bombers can't attack them is a pure gameplay mechanic. Logically they should be able to. Maybe it's because they use weaker bombs or it's dangerous to dive on installation type targets who usually have high AA stats?
