Exactly.
If you are expecting a one on one vs knights with no magic involved, then obviously many (though by no means all, morale is still important) other types of heavy cavalry are preferable.
If you are expecting heavy magic, then the Red Guard is probably preferable over the knight, even without blessing effects.
If you are expecting a bit of this and a bit of that and have even a small blessing effect of some sort, say one or two 4s - then the relatively inexpensive Red Guard is your man.
And, as you noted, the synergy with the blessed Celestial Soldiers makes for one powerful melee force.
