As to the scenes unnecessaryness, we already had closure on the last finale. Rose had her other Doctor. Martha clearly had her purpose and Mikey walking with her and Jack implied that he final found a group to be a part of.

What we actually got out of the sob spree was: Jack likes to bang men (that was important), Martha and Mikey were together for some reason (that comes out of nowhere and doesn't actually mean anything), Rose is still off being Rose in another universe (no change or anything really, just another scene), the only character who really needed some closure was Donna. With her we found out that she got a husband and is about to go on with her earlier boring life (so... nothing buggering changed, but now she's married).

10 will never know what the next form will be, he'll be dead. Non-existent. No longer around to travel the universe, see amazing sights, ect. While saving Wilf is a worthy cause, what kills him is singularly unimpressive, not the Daleks, not the Time Lords returned, but a simple little box.

As for the companions, it's not about learning something new, it's getting closure from a last goodbye, one that everyone (on both sides of the fourth wall) knows is the final one. As a nitpick, something did change for Donna, the Doctor gave her a nice wedding present. Money isn't everything, but it's certainly not bad.
