Life finds a way, but extinction of species is the rule. Imo, the doomsday vault is like a family's kitchen pantry. The stuff in it might be needed in the near not necessarily the distant future.
Anyway, even if there's no doomsday, having a record of the seeds we have right now may be invaluable. For ex., maybe there's a miracle drug in one of those plants -that we find out after we've destroyed that plant's habitat.
