She may regenerate, but being impaled by the rod already weakened her badly. She was struggling to land her punch and had no strength to pull it out of her stomach by herself. She would've died if Naruto and Sasuke wouldn't have distracted Madara's shadows. Also yeah, she wouldn't have been able to be more than a decoy, but what she did was nothing like teamwork. She sprinted while shouting for them to follow her, instead of explaining what she's about to do before to do it. That way, Naruto and Sasuke were surprised and couldn't really think of any elaborate attacks (Naruto didn't even attempted to because he was worried over her).

In the end, it was just Sakura's childish attempt to move them to follow her for a chance. Unfortunately for her, it ended like it did when they were ahead of her: They had to save her ass.
