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.
Indeed I also point out that a so called "useless" cell can still be useful in another capacity. Creationists live in the delusion a part must play the role it does now or play it's current role in the way it does now. In there minds life is a watch with specific components. Life is not so rigid on meta scale.
