Back before we started walking bipedally, when we were still living in the trees, they were for all practical purposes two extra thumbs. So evolutionarily speaking, yes, they are.

I don't think so. Our pinky fingers are our most important finger. That is how we fully grasp things without them just falling from our hands. Most importantly, it is our main access to opening doors. Next time you go turn a door knob, see how easy it is to do it without using your pinky. Without the pinky fingers, things we pick up would just fall right back out of our hands.

All of our toes are made for balance. With one toe missing, the one foot would be off balance.

What's useless is the male nipple, now that we could live without. :)

I voted no, because your big toes are NOT useless, however, they are ripoffs of thumbs. Your big toes do most of the balance work of standing, making them in fact, VERY useful :D
