So whats the advantage of the ssl_bump feature left then if it cannot

Yes. Squid supports ssl end-point termination ...
That is what the 's' in https_port means. Before anything else happens a
new connection gets SSL negotiated and decrypted using the certificate
details configured.
Now, take an HTTPS connection, decrypt it with an https_port end-point.
What is left that you expect ssl-bump to do exactly?
I don't think so. Note that redirecting connection to your own machine
and behave as the server is called "man-in-the-middle" attack, and it
is a security breach. SSL was designed to make secret, encrypted
end-to-end connection between browser and a final server and it should
remain so.
