Should we care? Well, we are curious beasts... we want to know... At least for that.
Of course we're curious. That doesn't mean that every curious inquiry is worth the time and effort. What's the payoff for believing God exists?

Why should we care if dark matter is for real?
Why should we care about the Big Bang and if universal expansion will be going on forever or if it will reverse, at some point?
Those are interesting questions but if your point is that conceding that "God exists" is meaningless would therefore mean that "big bang happened" is also meaningless and that conceding that would be a terrible thing, then you're just doing the appeal to consequences fallacy.
