I wouldn't say there's "no point" to knowing how to drive a stick.
Outside of North America, standards are still far more common than automatics. It's definitely something that could come in handy in a ton of scenerios.
As for the traffic thing... I used to commute across the entire city during both rush hours. Didn't bother me once. I have a car with a notoriously tricky and heavy clutch too.
