The Assault Marines add a close combat element, meltas and flamers to the army. Without those I have no meltas for serious anti tank, no combat element and no flamers to deal with hordes. Just lascannons and plasma. The Assault Marines add a lot and do a lot for the army. When I get out why do you think I have Priests for? Priests keep the Assault Marines alive longer and allow them to be better in close combat.
I know how a Rhino based army works, but I will lose fire power as previously mentioned. Rhinos is something I am not going to do for the Angels as they work perfectly. Razorbacks are far superior for Blood Angels thanks to the fast tanks.
