Being insubstantial still means that Doomsday would be unable to hit him, but Superman fought him like he forgot that he could do this.
The OE would have still gotten to him first, it's not as if he didn't see the rubble shift, or that DD tunneled beneath him and took him by surprise, Darkseid actually sees him before he begins his bull rush.
Oh I know that DC wanted to bring Wildstorm into the picture, but they fixed things up as well. If not the New Gods would have remained dead ones.
