There is no point, Jason may have had a reason at some point, a future update, but he never did anything with them. Right now the only purpose they serve is more AP (Ascension Points) for when you ascend. That means you can convert them to points on your ascended account to use on upgrades. This amount is rather miniscule though when compared to how much you can gain from farming at even an amateur level.

Short version; they do nothing.

On another note... they are fun to collect, I had 4 billion or so recently.

One thing I could never figure is if you can use them as trained units when you asend or maybe untrained units and loose less units in the asention process..

I don't believe Untrained Mercs can be used in any useful purpose like that, Miners are the ones you'd use to lessen trained units and UU you need and such. You'd have to ask someone who is more of an expert on ascending though.

If i remember correctly, they used to be used in army size, but not anymore.

they're more a reflection of your pure awesomeness, so collect them all!
