The Geekbench score is a pretty useless metric when you have a specific workload in mind. If you are choosing a machine for video editing you're not going to look at the Geekbench score. If you are choosing a machine for compiling code you're not going to look a the Geekbench score. If you need a machine for gaming you're not going to look at the Geekbench score. If you have no specific requirements then you might not even care about having the best performance.

At this point the conversation turns completely useless where we all tell ourselves that no benchmark matters.

Only they do. The Bionic chips are ridiculously performant, and are bound to have a much wider range with even moderate cooling.
