Fascinating stuff! I am very much interested in language and linguistics! And you asked (rhetorically) why we have all these useless (since they're silent) letters in English. The answer is that these letters were once pronounced. They have been dropped in oral speech, but are still present as a kind of linguistic atavism in the written language. And as far as I am concerned, they must be kept...
