That means nothing. If that were the case, then Onoki and Gaara could never lose a battle simply because they can fly. To other people it would make a difference, but to Shinobi, especially of Kimimaro's calibre it wouldn't be that much of a help for Gaara which is why he chose to stay on the ground in P1 against Kimimaro, except for when the Bone Forest tech was used.
