I also find that to be a weird question to consider, as though something must have a purpose to be worthy of existence

In that vein, what is the point of humans? To bring on the 6th mass extinction?

    a fanciful answer i heard was that "humans are how the universe perceives itself," and a person could be forgiven for thinking that the point of humans is to do science. closer to the ground, the point of humans seems to be to alter our surroundings to suit our society: kind of like ants. we build, we live, we reproduce, we spread. it's not a good thing or a bad thing, it just is what it is.
