No need to submit your site to every directory. Submit your site to reputed directories like dmoz , yahoo and numerous others.

I have a question-Why does everyone have a directory these days? So many of them are poorly thought-out and barely legible, is anyone actually profiting from this?

If your site gets back links from high PR sites, then only you will be able to rank high in search results. Directory submission plays imp. role in this. There are various high PR sites available. Only thing is that, you have to choose which is best for your niche.

Because most of it these days are used for spamming emails, and other accounts that register or submit to them,.

Directories can be still used today. They are crawled too by Google bots so submitting your website to them does help - but it is given of less value only when it comes to ranking a website.
