[General Sci-Fi] Why do fighter jet pilots engage giant monsters at point-blank range?

I mean most fighter to fighter engagements occur using missiles that can target and intercept enemies BVR (Beyond Visual Range) which is 37+ km. So why are these idiot hotshots playing chicken with building-sized kaiju and robots when their missiles are designed to hit a tiny target from miles away? Even their guns have a max range of 2 miles or so.

Most fighter to fighter engagements use munitions designed to target small, fast moving, metallic objects with a hot spot on the back end.  
These missiles won't know what to do if you attempt to fire them at a giant monster from 30 miles away.  
The pilots are more or less dumb firing the missiles at point blank range because that's the best they can do with a weapon system that wasn't designed for the fight they find themselves in.
