Why ?

Is there a purpose ?

Yes, because criticizing bad ideas and proposing better ones is the way we improve as a society.

If you didn't want the enlightenment to happen you could go back in time to Martin Luther and wag your finger at him because he was going to offend somebody in the Catholic Church.

And if there is one - could it be possible for some criticism to be pointless because it clearly doesn't advance the purpose ?

Yes, if you don't like someone's criticism then you're free to criticize those ideas too.  This is called "discussion" and "debate".
