I believe the main reason is that Akitsumaru will get you to Node B, and from there you are less likely to go through the sub node at C and being led to a deadend at E. And as others have mentioned, Akitsumaru consistently hits the Midway hime for 40+ dmg per hit (and never misses through my whole E-4 clear).

As for equip, I use 2 Reppu and one radar (E-3 clear reward). Akitsumaru needs no gun to crit the boss!
