Various edit
Is there an antonym "pointfull"?
No. Possible antonyms (depending on meaning) are beneficial, meaningful, pointed, profitable, sensible

Senses edit
Some dictionaries distinguish the senses (a) without meaning, senseless, and (b) without purpose, purposeless. Some use "ineffectual" instead of "purposeless". My understanding of the distinction between the two:
- purposeless := no purpose can be identified
- ineffectual := the purpose in view cannot be achieved by the chosen method
