ELI5: What real reason is there for us to save the giant panda?

I continuously find myself hearing that the giant panda, has no real reason for living, is dying faster than it reproduces, and is a waste of time and money to save. Is this all true? If it is, why haven't we stopped funding, and shifted our time and effort onto another, more 'deserving' species? Is there any real reason for us to save this species, other than it being 'cute'?

It's generally not in our best interest to ever just decide to let a species go extinct because they deserve it, or "should" go extinct. We certainly do put a lot of effort into preserving Pandas, but we also put a lot of effort into preserving other species of animals as well. If we can save a species, we try, Panda or otherwise. We often succeed. The Panda just gets a lot of media exposure due to their adorableness.
