Your explanation of fighter bomber is full of fallacies (the damage cap is the worst one).

You are completely wrong.

You can use it on any of the carriers and any of the slots and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Every single one of them can be viable choice. Depending on the situation. You SHOULD use it in a way that makes the most out of it and the other planes. It should be used when you are either lacking a bit of fighter power with current setup or when you have a lot of unnecessary fighter power but can't afford replacing the fighter. Limiting yourself to just four carriers and only using it as a single bomber can only be considered stupid.

It has a lot of value as second bomber on one carrier - it adds

For example right now I have it on Amagi while I'm farming rocket launchers on 5-4. It was either it or a fighter, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get AS+ at H all the time. Shoukaku needs three torpedo bombers for power to get MVP. Taihou has a lot of firepower so she's fine with one bomber.

The only thing that might be questioned about this setup is swapping Murata with Iwai on Amagi - slightly lower damage in airstrike for slightly lower chance of stealing MVP, they're ~even.

You also ignored important utility all dive bombers have - forbidding the carrier from attacking land base enemies - and Iwai's fighter power might be more important than Egusa's shelling depending, again, on carriers you use and required fighter power. As a bonus, it's especially important for carriers who already have a torpedo bomber equipped on them - the setup which you dismissed. It's actually a very common situation on 4-5.
