I understand what you're saying, but doesn't a missile have to have some degree of ability to predict a target's path? This must have greater importance the higher the missile's velocity, it needs to get to where the plane's going, not where it was. There would have to be a point where the missile simply can't maneuver rapidly enough to hit its target.

This all assumes the target knows it's coming of course.
