I don't think they add a lot to daytime anti collision, to be honest landing lights stand out a lot better, and are usually the first to burn out.

Even with wing tip strobes, traffic info passed by ATC can be very difficult to spot. I think the colour of the aircraft and bright landing lights are probably more significant.
