ok, you don't like having this tournament. have you ever been?
my direct answer...
-the event makes money for the conference
-the event is fun as hell for the fans
-the event is fun for the players and coaches
-the event represents an opportunity for some teams
to improve their situation in a regional or even
to make a regional
-it allows the opportunity to face teams that were
not played during the season
"tiring out teams" is overstated. sure, if pitchers are abused during this tournament it can be detrimental to the regionals but that is the coaches job not to do that. the position players are young guys and do not "tire out" like you and I do.

Also, the Met has the same dimensions as TD Ameritrade, which gives teams an opportunity to work on their playoff strategy

I'm not worried about the position players (though there is always the potential for injury). I'm worried about the pitchers and the short turn-around time before regionals. (See the TigerRant discussion about who to pitch during the SEC tournament.)
