Is there any point using finings in a dark beer like a stout ? Seems pointless unless there are other advantage besides clarity ?

Just because it's dark doesn't mean it's not clear.
The major question is this: Is clarity important to you?
I add gelatin finnings to my stouts. I do see a difference and like mine clear.
JMO, but it is a simple and relatively painless step that gives me the finished product that I am looking for with a shorter secondary fermentation. If clarity is not as important to you then it certainly isn't a necessary step.

Dropping protein & polyphenols/tannins out of solution so they are reduced in your finished beer.
