I think 99% of philosophy is crap, but science has come from it...it's pretty much speculation, but I see no harm in it and....I personally: Think it's awesome in the sense I find it highly enjoyable.
99% of everything is pretty much crap
(except science...but that's ignoring all the discarded science of the past that turned out to be incorrect).
Ultimately, the ideas of philosophy, however few there are, that you say (despite your criticism) can 'obviously feed into science', are enough to make it worthwhile in the long run IMO. And if I (or whoever else) am enjoying the speculation in the meantime, what's the hurt?
