The fact that you have to "destroy" something valuable to make BTC is a good thing. It gives it inherent value as anyone who created one values the BTC more than the energy and hardware required to create it.
The people mining Bitcoin don't do it because they value Bitcoin, they do it because you value Bitcoin. They're not going to buy your Bitcoins off you - they're already earning their own Bitcoins which they need to sell for other stuff.
No it doesn't. If I break into your home and shit in your bed, it's something that required me to destroy your window or your door as well as said bed, but that doesn't make shit it inherently valuable, because it's shit in a bed.
