Sakura didn't strike me as useless. Recall, she went to Madara as a diversion, not to land any major damage. On top of that, she probably didn't bother dodging his stab; remember that Tsunade, as well, lets herself get hurt to get at Madara--I think they are using their reserve seal to it's maximum potential, much like Tobirama used Edo Tensei's invincibility to his advantage. The only thing that failed in her idea was the punch--but that was merely due to the fact that she doesn't have the ability to sense Madara's Shadows... if she had hit Madara himself, he might have been seriously damaged.
