I disagree.

I have dealt with bugs that were thought to be fixed a long time ago, only for them to mysteriously pop up again later. Ticket is created and the old ticket is linked.

It's really helpful to see what was done 2 years ago, including the attempted fix that is now still live in the code base but apparently doesn't work properly.

That said, as always, it's not black or white. There are definitely cases where it doesn't make sense, but I don't think you should call it 'totally worthless'.
