It's my understanding the Me-410A dive bomber was supposed to replace both the Ju-87 and Ju-88 in that role.
At least that was the theory until immediate wartime requirements forced the Me-410 into killing day bombers and the Ju-88 into killing night bombers. Hence the inexpensive Ju-87D had to soldier on into 1944 and there was no replacement for the Ju-88A heavy dive bomber.
