The day battle has soft power cap of 150 (or 151), Hiryuu herself deals that much without any bonus from planes. However, you forgot the fact that head-on and T-cross disadvantage lowers the damage pre-cap.

Example if it is head-on (80% dmg) then:

Raw (no bomber): 151 -> 120.8

Type62 (Divebomb +4 -> damage +8): 159 ->  127.2

2x Ryuusei Kai (Torpedo + 26 -> damage +39): 180 -> 144

See the importance? That extra firepower is definitely needed.

AA I dont think carriers use them without Flak guns.
