Yeah well, you can't chase down routing heavy cavalry with heavy cavalry... Killing/capturing routing heavy cavalry is especially important when it's a general's unit, and you don't want to face him again.
Also, if you're being attacked by missile cavalry, and you only have heavy cavalry, you're just SOL.
