I think not.
And a need for a divebomber with pin-point accuracy against strongpoints, ships and artillery.
And a need for a bomber like the Mosquito to take out the German electricity generation and distribution system, and the synthetic fuel plants.

You say no aircraft should have been used as a bomber, then cite instances of when a bomber would be useful. Actually what you cite is exactly what fighter-bombers have been doing from July 1940 up to present. Go get a copy of some guy's book on the Luftwaffe's fighter-bomber unit in 1940 and see what they did to a lot of targets in 1940...
