No there's still some point. It allows scientists to better understand the fundamentals of how that animal lived. It's not really bringing them "back to life", it's more like altering the genes of its descendants to give birth to its ancestors. This allows us to protect biodiversity and genetic diversity. Not only does this undo the harms that humans have done, it also restore ecosystems as certain animals that were extinct contribute a major role in how the ecosystem functions. Once then, we will be able to prevent any further extinctions.
Good go cool guys. I've got other things to do now

I watched a video by Michio Kaku on this, cool stuff.
He said of one day possibly being able to bring back a neanderthal

Technology is getting better and better so I wouldn't be surprised. 
Quite an interesting subject if you ask me. Imagine the research possibilities if indeed this is deemed possible. With living, breathing subjects, we would be able to learn far more about ancient Earth then we can today.
