I've always heard bonds are great for a recession and bonds are a safe cushion when things goes bad.

Well things did go really bad for a while back in March. Hindsight we didn't know it would recover so fast but that didn't stop bonds from absolutely getting crushed. Obviously they didn't crash as hard as stocks but what is the point of bonds if I just gain back my value in stocks quicker. Only reason I see for bonds to exist is if you need to panic sell in a bear market.
I obviously don't know it all so I would genuinely like to know the upsides.
