You don't think the Lesnar taking the streak moment meant something?

Unreal. Just unreal.

It did FOR THAT MOMENT, but nothing more. Something that was over 20 years in the making basically amounted to fuck all. Lesnar went on to demolish Cena at SS, but after that then what?

In addition, to many, the "mystique" of Taker matches is also gone. To be fair, it also has to do with an aging Taker and him not being able to perform as well as he could in his prime, but still. There was generally a "could this be the one who breaks it" kinda feel.

Feel like it could have been better used to propel a *brace yourself* NEW FUCKING TALENT rather than someone already established who was already over without the need for the rub.

So yes, in the end, it was pointless other than to have a best of 3 series that is now forgettable.

If you fail to see how they misused the "streak being broken" then I would point you to your own words:
