The AI (and most players) doesn't put enough PDCs on their ships to deal with seriously heavy missile bombardment so they'd have to use other guns, and each one of those fired at a missile is one NOT fired at one of my ships. :-)

Only PDCs can fire at missiles.

The solution to an enemy that uses a lot of missiles is to use the space yard ship you included in your fleet to retrofit all of your ships to use extra PDCs. Emergency build a space station with only repair bays if you need extra repair capability. Takes only a turn or two. This probably won't save the first fleet, but the others will slaughter the missle ships. If they stop using missiles, just retrofit the warships back to the orginal design. Takes even less time to repair than adding the PDCs, as there are 1/3 or so components to repair (depending on weapons used).
