When you move /usr/sbin/sendmail to *.bak, you are taking the actual original "sendmail" program out of action. But you may have many other perl/... scripts as well as shell users that have the sendmail command embedded in them. So the best way to accommodate them in your move to a qmail system is to provide a wrapper called sendmail that dumps their stuff into the qmail system (using qmail-inject??? dunno still a qmail newbie). So you make those symbolic links so that if some script or user calls sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail, they in reality call the qmail wrapper.
