Its a valuebet because you are ahead >50%. Just because you may have a negative expectation if the hand continues, does not affect the reason behind the bet on that street at that time. The value lies in the pot won with this bet.

fwiw, this is called "hand protection".

However, in this hand, if we are ahead, he probably has very few outs. Thus protection is not the major concern.
