It was supposed to be used for horizontal bombing against merchant shipping. For horizontal bombing attacks, arming times hardly matter...

The 0.05 delay was intended for drops above 1000m, 0.2 for below 1000m and 5.0 for low level attack. The different delays were supposed to achieve the optimal penetration into water to achieve the best results against light naval targets. If you drop from 1000m, the ideal free falling object needs 14 seconds to reach the surface, so why bother with shorter arming times.
