Ya, what’s wrong with the B1s? They can bogie, carry a nice load. I also am not sure what’s wrong with the B-2s? Is the payload not that good? Stealth capabilities easily defeated?

The bomber force is pretty well-balanced with the three types. There's nothing "wrong" with any of them - they're just designed to a different set of requirements, meaning that while there's some overlap in capability each also has unique capabilities. Unique capabilities that justify keeping each type in service.
