Miners and bitcoin clients are doing a "work/job".
They aren't just "mining" and doing some useless math.
"They are confirming that all transactions are good."
Without their work, the network will become totally insecure.
It's like a secretary job.
Everyone in Bitcoin is doing the same job.
You should give a check to see what are doing the miners and simple client other then simple "mining".
The "block" isn't a simple random data.
Making sure that all transactions are good is a valuable job, and the fact that Bitcoin is totally anonymous is another big value for some merchants.
If I mine, and then I confirm a block of Bitcoin ... then I confirmed that many and many transactions were done well.
I just did the secretary job well.
I see it like this physics joke:

It's like a circle, everything works because one thing has a meaning that give a value to the other one and vice versa.
I see a difference from just mining "gold", because as you said finding "gold" is a totally useless job.
What do you think about my point of view?
Sorry but english isn't my mother language ... I hope that you have understood well
