I have two elementary school kids. In my view the biggest benefit of the homework is that I can observe if my kids lagging behind in some topics and help them to catch up if necessary. Usually this happens because teachers did not do good job explaining those topics. So it looks like the homework in public schools is a stopgap for lousy teachers.

This is a stopgap that is only effective in cases where the parents are knowledgeable and interested in their children's education and have free time to assist. It would be better to do this from within the educational system, because everyone would be covered. Team teaching, anyone?
