I know what you mean. Human existence seems rather sordid in general because of all the behavior behind making it "enjoyable". To me, the desire to find some point to it is just a more abstracted version of the drive to consume and produce. In this way, grasping for a point is only as helpful as any other act is in contributing to one's well-being.
Personally, I wish I could break away from this inherent goal-driven mentality, but at a certain point one just becomes like an animal living on instinct alone. So to poorly respond to your question, I think the reflection aspect of humans allows us to reconcile the more silly, visceral behaviors such as eating, sleeping, having sex, and working.
