Well, I find that the "unnecessary peace(sic) of garbage" you refer to helps night time visibility in heavy rain and mist quite considerably. The bluish white of the HIDs is not optimal for cutting through mist and spray, and the warmer light thrown just ahead and to the side of the car by the fogs helps. At least that's my experience with my E90, which I drive frequently on a congested, poorly drained and unlit urban freeway.
And, whatever the potential demerits of the offending lights, a capacity for stupidity falls beyond their function.
