If you believe existence is meaningless, then you're buying into the most emotionally and practically destructive idea in all of humanity, and if you believe our current state of existence is perfect when it clearly isn't you're being delusional and lazy. If you recognize that there is meaning to your existence and actions, but also that the current state of affairs you find yourself in is imperfect, then you have a philosophical drive towards progress.
At the very least a delusionaly happy perspective is more beneficial to the individual even if both are completely useless to society.

Coolio. Either way people are annoying.
We're all born without meaning... The meaning is created by us and us alone, through our life. Some are fine with being a couch potato who's actually meaningless and irrelevant, others strive to at least make one person happy and even if they only help a small number of people, they'll be overjoyed with the satisfaction that they made an impact on someone's life. Then there's those who wish to benefit the entire human race, one way or another.
Learn from the past, but don't live in it.
Focus on the present, but don't be consumed by it.
Think of the future, but don't panic over it.
Stop taking life seriously; you won't come out of it alive anyways. 👆
Spoiler:
this is my attempt at being philosophical

It's only destructive if you're already so insecure you need the universe to revolve around you to convince yourself to survive and progress.

If not though it's still a self-destructive belief.
