It's not useless.
Gnupg secret keys already include the public key and automatically
extract it when only the secret key is imported.
Try this:
[1] export your secret key
[2] re-import it
Gnupg will automatically extract the public key and add it to your
keyring.
(hope it's not too late, and you can still do it from your keyring
or a backup ;-) )
