It's like you didn't even read my post. Socially necessary does not mean labor that is necessary for society. Socially necessary labor means the average amount of labor required to make the commodity.
As for your second point, all sorts of useless commodities have value. use value is separate from exchange value. if it wasn't, the most useful things would be the most expensive, which isn't the case. A useless widget can absolutely have value on a market, although it is unlikely anyone would buy it for that value. Pic related.
