Well, the point behind its existence is to allow further description. Its not supposed to just be filler. I use it quite frequently, and try to reduce my prepositions as much as possible (that in itself being a phrase, "as much as possible"), but without them, a sentence is quite bland.

You obviously know this, I assume.

Take for example the following quote: "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most". Without the first phrase, we have "I miss my mind the most." This requires further description when addressing the reader out of context. I would have preferred not to finish that sentence as "addressing the reader" as I'm trying to convey a sense of situational use. Likewise, I would not use the title "Call." If I were to name something, I would include a variety of phrases ("of phrases" again being used to describe the form of variety), such as "Call of Duty", "Medal of Honor", "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman".

Long story short, while prepositions and even other phrases are abused in general, they have their places as descriptive uses.
