Is it bad that I'm learning to play bass by tabs of songs and not notes?

That depends on what your aims are in playing the bass guitar! If you want to play along to songs written by other people, copying their notes, then tab is fine. But one day, you might want to be in a band and write your own material, so you'll probably need to know some music theory, like root notes and chords. This is when it helps to know the names of the notes you're playing. Many people can play guitar and know what notes they're playing without being able to read music.
