For an enemy that knows where you are and can predict where you will likley be, you are right.
But the reasonable speed of the Ju-88 can make it a formidable weapon against an unknowing enemy, in with lots of alt, out in a shallow dive - any early war fighte will have trouble intercepting you.
And the He-111 can be used, too, as long as the enemy does not have cannon armed fighters it is flying tank -only head on passes bring them down without using lots of ammo per plane - and against an unprepared enemy a massed formation of He-111 can get results.
That said -both of them are pretty useless later in the war where fighters are fast and well armed enough to successfully catch, overtake and head-on them or even shoot them down from 6'o clock.
