It wasn't dumb at all, it was needed on the West-front in case on an invasion, the fast jet fighters could evade flak and fighters to strike down on the ships.
That was the plan. The me-262 appeared too late in action to achieve that, by the time they appeared in larger numbers a lot of me-262s were already in the fighter role.

Thanks for posting that video!

Great plan, especially when 1000s of bombers flatten your homeland.

S!

Gröfaz had a great vision about the Me262 for being a "Verteidigung Waffe" aka Weapon of Retaliation thus it was to be a bomber. But too late did Gröfaz approve the fighter role and so on. Nevertheless the world's first operational jet fighter.
