Sure, they probably didn't expect snowspeeders to be able to knock them down with tow cables, but they could easily stomp and pick off any Rebel ground troops in their way, whose blasters aren't going to do any good.
Exactly why it makes the rebel ground troops' presence there completely pointless. The way I saw it you've got the big walkers for the heavy lifting...the chickens to protect the big ones....and the ground troops to protect the chickens. The rebs needed something to be shooting at...otherwise they're just wasting their time (and dying while doing it).....but the point IS rather moot as Ady has said he's not doing it.
