Are incandescent lamps still a waste of energy in the winter when the heat can be used to warm up the room?

Your point is reasonable.

But if you're going to analyze the overall energy wasted by the lamp this way, then you also have to consider that in the summer, it gets worse because we first generate heat in the lamp, then use additional energy to pump that heat out of the room through the air conditioning.
