I can understand the Hands of God subplot--it's to show the gravity of Amara's threat. I think in terms of useless arcs, the tablets were greater offenders (and the tablet arc was probably what you wanted to say).

Them killing Death was so random (like most of the events that happened post-Gamble-era) but they could have made the most of it by saying Dean was under the influence of the mark because Amara intended to remove the remaining key player that was also a potential threat to her and thus would have made Death's death more meaningful.

Basically most of Carver's era had some really great concepts but really bad execution. I mean me and my best friends, we loved the show so much but now we barely give it attention. The old charm and atmosphere is gone. I only watch to know how it goes and even then it doesn't happent too frequently.
