I agree with you. No use in being registered with a party unless you are voting in the primaries.
Having said that, most voters down here are utter morons. They don't research or understand the issues and instead vote along party lines. It is better to be an issues voter and know which candidate best represents you on give issues. I've voted for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents because of their stance on certain issues. That's important in addressing big problems that face the state and country. Can't say that about many of the other voters I've met down here. They are very much in the mindset of voting for their team regardless of their values.
