It's not about Earth, it's about the humans on it. Being able to repopulate Earth after they all died isn't all that helpful.

Then it seems beneficial to have some somewhere else
No, not at all. That doesn't benefit the people who died.
Well you said it's not helpful because everyone would be dead, this response seems like moving the goalpost, also do you think these people will be born mostly on Mars?
No, I'm not moving any goalposts. Nothing is helpful for dead people as they're dead.
If some of these people first moved to Mars and later back, obviously it helps them.
Then they basically escaped. That is not solving a problem, it's giving up and pathetic.
