Fighter planes are there to prevent exactly this kind of bauxite cost overruns from occurring, yeah they can't attack other ships, but what's the point of loading your carriers choke full of bombers as little more than target practice for your enemy fighter planes? As long as you got air superiority in the battle by outnumbering their air power by at least 15, you would only lose up to 20% of your planes at most.
