Well you car engine has to turn a gearbox to get to your tires to move you, so torque against this rotating resistance is important. Once you get up to a healthy speed you need energy expressed in horsepower to keep you moving against windage and powertrain friction.
In an aircraft you basically need force (thrust) to overcome gravity thus providing both forward speed and lift to the wings. Tis true that you can use formale to convert any instantaneous energy balance to horsepower and torque, but since its changing all the time there is no meaningful number.
