Is there an antonym "pointfull"?
No. Possible antonyms (depending on meaning) are beneficial, meaningful, pointed, profitable, sensible

Senses[edit]
Some dictionaries distinguish the senses (a) without meaning, senseless, and (b) without purpose, purposeless. Some use "ineffectual" instead of "purposeless". My understanding of the distinction between the two:
- purposeless := no purpose can be identified
- ineffectual := the purpose in view cannot be achieved by the chosen method
