During LBAS phase your fleet doesn't shot down anything - it's not even really present there - it's just between LBAS and enemy fleet. Surviving enemy bombers just return to carriers - they don't attack your fleet in that phase. The enemy AA does shot down your LBAS bombers though.

This is why you can't wipe enemy bombers in LBAS phase - they only get percentage loss from fighter combat, not the absolute numbers loss from AA fire.
