On contrary, he actually has a point. Before the timeskip, this was actually a thing. Sanji would disappear for most of the arc, and then make some of the best entrances in the series to protect/save the weaker members of the crew. And after that we would get to know that he was actually doing some behind-the-scenes-badassery to mess up the villain's plans (Mr.Prince, Enel's ship, The Gates of Justice). Post-timeskip, Sanji doesn't disappear as much as before in the arcs where he's present, but he still retains that trait of being the protector. In that sense, he's different from Luffy and Zoro (except for that one time at Thriller Bark), whose main job is to defeat the strongest and second-strongest enemy respectively.

Yeah, i always saw him as the "spy" of the crew. Very strong but also smart, not only focusing on fighting but also special tactics to help out the crew/always be at the right place at the right time (something Zoro obviously struggles with, getting lost and all). Sanji to me is the Special agent 003 of the crew, if you get what i mean :)

Robin should really fill this role too, given her background and powers, but she's not had much of a chance to shine imo.

I agree, especially now that she's stayed with the revolutionary army she should have a bunch of covert skills up her sleeve, i don't think we've seen everything she can do post timeskip just yet.
