There will likely never come a time in your life when you will need to get somewhere via bicycle in 37 minutes rather than 39 minutes. It's just a way to challenge yourself. Also, there are side benefits in everyday life to being able to lift a ton of weight just are there are side benefits of being in cardiovascular shape.
Sometimes you need to carry bags of concrete, move furniture, pull a boat closer to a dock, or just want to pick up your wife and bang her. You're probably never going to wish you were less strong, slower, or had less endurance.

Yeah, I get it. Personal goals. I suppose I can see why a guy that bench presses 390 lbs and is huge wonders what the point of being able to do X number of (insert personal goal).
And yes, I did always want to run a bit faster or longer, so I see your point. Regardless, any exercise is good exercise.
