Why do they even wear the damn armor? It's not like it stops lasers.

It's akin to more Riot armor. Won't do a lot against anything of significant power, but is designed to stop small projectiles, shrapnel, etc.
-
Stormtrooper armor was made for a peacetime era where soldiers were more likely to be used for pacification campaigns rather than all-out warfare. As such, the quality of its protection against weapons fire is different from its predecessor, Phase II clone trooper armor.

Have you read the republic commando books?

To be fair, by the time we join the GCW, the Rebellion had been going for a while, and, if I recall properly, were using modified or high-powered weapons. Stormtrooper armor is similar to contemporary armor in that regard. It'll stop standard-issue weapons, but military grade or high-powered weapons? Not going to help;

Actually the armor has stopped blaster fire before. Which it was built for. The clones where in a battle with the droids who used blasters.
-
It doesn't stop direct hits, but it stops glancing hits and exploded shrapnel. It's also really just an intimation uniform.
