We're just talking degrees of (what we perceive as) realism. The fact that the technology hasn't caught up yet is no reason to dismiss the entire idea. Think about Technicolor, for instance. Unrealistic, and to some, headache-inducing. But it was an early step toward what we have today. These days, most films are shot in color, and in a fairly naturalistic way that people don't generally notice. But that certainly doesn't mean there's "no point in having it there." It's just a greater level of immersion, which helps draw people even further into what actually matters (for most films): the story, the characters, etc.
