Well, we don't know exactly in what year PD was slain (or how many years PD has postmortem. It's the same amount). And it wasn't stated that BD was leading the Earth because Pinky was KIA.

What I believe is that Blue Diamond w3as there to tutor Pinky and help her to colonize Earth, since it was PD's first colonization (Meaning she wasn't skilled at controling a planet, meaning that another species could steal Earth from Homeworld easily or that some mutiny may occur – EPIC FORESHADOWING, "btw" – so someone has to lend a hand to her. Blue Diamond was chosen to help, while Yellow and White Diamond take care of their captured worlds + Blue Diamond's ones).

So what may proves it? Well, something that could prove is the leader's positioning mid-war:

Now, if you are a leader of an army, you don't waltz around in the battlefield (for example, any Earth's position – including the Sky Arena). Instead, you stay afar from it, in well-secured stable camp (again, for example, the Moon Base). And, since the Earth was chosen for Pinky, she is the leader, while Blue Diamond's the Second-In-Command.

Postscriptum: One thing odd to the flashback in The Answer is that the rebellion attack there is nothing but 2 soldiers against dozens 'n' dozens of soldiers + a Diamond. Maybe the period when Garnet joins is still a growing phase to the rebellion, meaning PD's still walking, breathing and eating donuts (well, at least she done one of this actions).
