Why would black take the bishop?

What sort of move is that once white attacks the black queen?

Seems illogical......

Black loses the queen anyways

If he protects it by, say

1. ... h6
2. Nd5 Qd8
3. Bg5+ Ne7
4. Nxe7 hxg5
5. Nc6+ Qe7
6. Nxe7 Bxe7

Or say

1. ... h6
2. Nd5 Qd6
3. Bc5+

or

1. ... h6
2. Nd5 Qe6
3. Nxc7+

and even

1. ... h6
2. Nd5 Qd7
3. Nxc7+ Kd8
4. Rd1 Qxd1+
5. Qxd1+ Kxc7

Looks very bad for black.
