Yes, it is valuable to have more than zero information.
But often we don't have the information that we wish. Even more often, the information that we have leads us to a story, that severely misleads us. Reminding ourselves of the zero information version of the story, can be an antidote to being mislead that way.
Therefore it is valuable to know how to make the most out of zero information. And if we have information, to think about exactly why it leads to a different conclusion.

The argument is that it's not very valuable because it can be incredibly wrong and the priority is to get more information.
"And we have information to think" - then we don't have zero information right?
