If the game limits the number of ships you can have, as is the case in a PBW game I'm playing currently, then fighters certainly are useful 
EDIT: Fighters also make good warp point defenses against AIs that send drones through unaccompanied. Since warhead-only drones can't target fighters -> turkey shoot.
