It's not meaningless, it's vague. There's a world of difference.
=destination means that, for whatever reason, it's not suitable as a
through way, but you may be forced to walk your bike or merge into a
narrow street with faster traffic. According to the "bicycle" page on
the wiki, the destination tag is meant for "NO THROUGH BICYCLES"
situations, but I'm willing to expand that a bit to include ways where
bicycles can legally use it as a through road, but doing so is not a
good idea except as a last resort.
