Work experience is better than certification but ...
Getting certified is hard work. Takes a lot of time and effort (not to mention money). So it must be worth something. If only for a little bit. It is definitely not worthless.

Certification is no different from being a doctor. You need to pass exams to be a doctor too (you need internship to go as well, of course).
