Your nose can't smell if something is bitter.

Taste and smell enhance each other.

I think smell is the least useless, because you can't smell something unless it's an overpowering stench or you're right next to it. Except fire... Well, nevermind, its still usefull

You're right for the most part, but I also think if something is poisonous, it might taste bad, so you spit it out and save yourself from eating it and dying.

I think eating food that tastes good is a luxury in life. Luxuries make life good. How would you like to live without that simple luxury? I find taste very useful for satisfaction purposes.

The taste sense evolved in tandem with the diet of early humans. We have thousands of different sweet receptors on our taste buds because we needed to be able to distinguish between the sweet tasting berries that were good and the sweet tasting berries that were lethal. Because almost all bitter edibles in early existence were poisonous our body has only a few hundred bitter taste receptors. Taste, like everything else our bodies do, is an evolutionary imparitive for survival.

I think sight would be the most useless of all of them. You can still navigate when you don't have your sight, there's even a blind man that can ride a bike by making clicking sounds and listeing to where things are. If you lose your sense of touch, you could petentially harm yourself so badly that it's lethal and not notice. If you lost hearing, you wouldn't be able to know when something is behind or above you. If you lost your sense of smell, you wouldn't be able to smell smoke or toxic gas and your sense of taste wouldn't be as good, and you need your taste to know that the food you're eating is ok.
