Akagi/Kaga: ...Well, we weren't supposed to be CVs, either...

Hiyou/Junyou: We weren't even warships!

I kinda understand your frustration, though it seems more like Devs didn't want to add the incomplete, single ship of her class Ibuki when they could just use the Mogami-class as stand-in. It makes sense to use the Mogami-class, seeing that Ibuki was a modified Mogami-class heavy cruiser.

Reason why Takao and Atago doesn't make sense as CVL conversion candidates was because they were too busy fighting to justify bringing them in, from across the Pacific, for a months-long overhaul when they were already doing a lot of work around Guadacanal. When you take ships for conversion, you take them from the mothball fleet, not the active fleets.
