What's the point in creating new elements? Would anything further in the periodic table be stable?

The point is to learn more about how atomic nuclei work. Some people are not interested in this, some are. Generally there can be practical applications of synthetic isotopes, like in radiation therapy for cancer, or as catalysts in the nuclear industry, but generally not the superheavy ones.

It is thought that there may be an "island of stability" possibly around element 126, but these would likely still be unstable, just more stable than other 100+ elements.
