"What people are working on is usually unrelated and of no interest to each other," It sounds like you are not a team in the sense of a coherent body creating added value, but a line organization mandated agglomeration of talent under a specific manager. When actually working together quick stand ups make sense, but for individual contributors they add very little added value. However, the only way to know if the dailys are unnecessary or not, is not how they feel like, but what happens when you remove them. All coordination work feels unproductive. But after a specific complexity is reached coordinated efforts of communication are the only way in which a large body of talent can function in a sensible way together.
