Not pointless, just less useful. It still lets you attack with them. You just don't gain any of the special benefits.
I've always allowed that when defaulting from a special skill that grants "X, Y, and Z" to a skill that also grants those abilities or not, you get those abilities.

In other words a Saber fencer doesn't forget how to fence because he's picked up a Rapier.... nor if he picks up a Broadsword. He's still using a Fencing skill.

Now, the other direction? Nope.

At that point you should be Improving Skills from Default.
