I would definitely not call Nagashino "pointless" at all... on the contrary, it was a battle of incredibly high stakes and the outcome pretty much determined the future of not only the Taked clan, but also a significant part of the subsequent events in Japan.
Also, I wouldn't call any of the "last stand" battles as 'pointless', as they are valuable for strategical reasons (boost of morale, delay of enemy force, political reasons, motivation etc. etc.).
