Unlike just taking the Rook, taking the Bishop with check means your opponent is not free in the next move, so you have to add that move to the balance and sometimes you can get an advantage from it.
Maybe you thought you were protecting your (apparently) otherwise lost Bishop on a2, but after 3-4 moves it is back in the game unless you prefer other lines.
