The two points is only at starting damage. That gap increases as you upgrade it further, and as such the scaling bonus will be larger because of the higher base damage.

The Bastard Sword is stronger, but shorter. The Claymore's range advantage is compounded by its strong attack thrust. However the Bastard Sword also deals more poise damage, especially the strong attack.
