They never planned on fighting the cylons on foot, but they did. A lot. Think of the insurgency on Caprica, the survival of the crash on Kobol, the search for Athena's Tomb, or the insurgency and rebelion on New Caprica. Think of the boarding of the Galactica. Think of all the times there was even a threat of being boarded by the Cylon. Think of whern and if they find Earth.
They're gonna need marines again, and Anders has the experience against the Cylon to make him a valuable officer. Even if Anders doesn't become a pilot, he has a valueable place in the show.
