You think so? Odd, since all complex life on earth is predicate upon those useless photo-receptors and their ability to track the sun..............
OFC, you don't actually need a cell for that, photo-reactive compounds like auxin can, by virtue of their chemical (not structural) composition, convey some benefit...and they do - most of the time in concert with those useless cells above. Tinkergod™ clearly had a thing for the stuff it's believers don't believe in, shits literally everywhere.
Organisms survive in their environment because they have what is necessary to do so. In an environment where there is not a lot of light, having eyes can actually be detrimental becase they use up metabolic resources the body could put to better use developing other senses needed in that environment.
If an organism can find food, reproduce and avoid predators with nothing more than light sensitive cells, it will survive, and eyes will not evolve unless the environment changes.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
