You're right that we've repeatedly revised understandings of reality that were based on mysticism and voodoo. But understandings of reality based on Science have only been refined and updated, rather than replaced. Newtonian physics is still accurate for day-to-day purposes. Similarly, the quantum nature of light isn't important for optics, nor steam or internal combustion engines, physical machines, radio, or even fast networks. Electricity concepts like voltage and current are still madly useful.
Scientific understanding has been about filling in fine details about the very small and very large, not throwing everything out the window every 5 years.
