It should be noted that "bias" is normative (at least hereabouts) - a "good bias" is not a bias at all. "Heuristic" is usually a good substitute (though not necessarily something you can directly substitute without syntactic modifications).
I wouldn't have said that. At least, I wouldn't have said the latter part. Bias is often used to describe "a deviation from epistemologically or sometimes instrumentally rational thinking". Some of those are useful for humans, when they work well with other human limitations.
