I wouldn't say it's completely unnecessary. Much like "hello", "howdy", and "yo" may be synonymous, they're hardly completely interchangeable, and therefore serve different purposes.
"So..." adds a less formal tone. Whether one approves of it, or not; it serves a purpose.
Far worse in my ears has always been the overuse of "y' know".
