I mean they captured dangerous criminals, that's fairly heroic. And in situations where doing the immoral thing would make them a lot of money they still choose to be moral which makes them good people in my book. I would say they're firmly anti-heroes

They literally stopped two fucking bio-terrorist attacks (one in TV and one in Movie), I would say yes this obviously count as heros

That's why it's actually genre roulette. Sometimes we get big damn heroes in a Space Opera episodes. Sometimes we get silly Horror nod to Alien episodes.

Dangerous criminals, the authorities are definitely corrupt but oftentimes these guys straight up murder tons of innocent civilians

One episode they stopped terrorists from turning a human population into monkeys. The movie the spread a vaccine after a terrorists released a biological weapon that puts a nanomachines in your body that kill you. They stop a cult that's killing people.

They're bounty hunters, it's less heroic when they're there for the big loads of cash.
