You hear lots of these stories about stupid interviews. You rarely hear the stories about the horrible, terrible employees that weren't weeded out, got hired and did great harm to the company and their coworkers.
Interviews can be good and bad, I'd venture to say that many the horrible hire has been avoided by any interview at all. Thus, don't make perfect the enemy of good, and try to improve on good.
The set of potential bad hires is vast compared to the good hires, and that ratio is only remedied by good filtering before and during the interview.

Actually, stories about horrible co-workers that weren't weeded out by interview or any other hiring process are quite common workplace stories in every field, including tech.
