Well, we also blow up billions in missiles that achieve nothing. So, why not smash some particles instead?

We probably wouldn't have the LHC now if the results hadn't been applicable to blowing stuff up for previous incarnations of it.

Missiles advance rocketry, electronics, composite materials, fuel chemistry, and precision guidance, all technologies we'll need more of in the future.

I would absolutely prefer smashing particles over smashing missiles.
