Naruto is fighting, why would they send recon? Analyse how bad he's losing before moving in? For all we know they did actually send forward scouts, since they did came in relatively prepared to (in their mind) win; and they're position looked good (hills to fallback on, some high ground advantage, etc).

At the moment the situation is such that if Naruto & Bee lose, they all lose. There's no reason to skimp on forces since there is no "fallback plan". If Naruto or Bee had lost (since just one is useless) and they charged in with a bad position, they would be in trouble, but it wouldn't matter since they would have lost the war anyway (and everyone knows it). So yeah it's a risk, but doing nothing is the bigger risk; and there's no benefit to it.

Also showing force is powerful in itself. Yes, they are weak, but now Madara and Tobi have to think about all the various nonsense that can come at them, and to deal with the numbers have to play in very broad strokes, so while they still have the upper hand, there's room for counter attacks from Naruto and others—since it's already pretty much a given that Naruto and co can't out think Madara on their own in a million years.

Regarding the whole stealth aspect. Good luck sneaking in on two sharingan users perched over the most colossal behemoth in existence.
