Useless Dwarves?

Did Tolkien purposely make the Dwarves seem useless ? How much did they help out really? It seems all throughout the journey, they were nothing but trouble for Bilbo.

They are constantly getting caught, Grumbling, and don't really help out much. They do sometimes lend a hand (mostly Balin) but more often then not they are constantly getting into trouble.

Any thoughts?
