The fighting on the last day was hardly a useless sacrifice. The Spartans, Thespians, etc. were covering the retreat of the remaining 6,000 hoplites, who did live to fight another day. Covering a retreating force, particularly against an enemy with superior cavalry, meant buying time. Which is exactly what they did.
