Bit depth also defines the signal to noise ratio (with regard to quantisation noise). The bit depth of CD means that the SNR of CD is much, much better than vinyl (hundreds of times better).
Bottom line is that in terms of accuracy of reproduction, CD massively wins over vinyl on every possible measure. The distortions and inaccuracies of vinyl do sound good to some, though, so it's a personal choice.
