its more about focusing on one strategy than the buildings being totally useless. Temples and monastaries are good buildings if you're going for cultural victory. You're not. Philosophy and oxford are teching further and/or going for space victory. markets... well, they're rarely a good idea... sometimes you can build them in your GP factory city if you want a great merchant for some reason.
But if you want to win on higher difficulties, you need to pick one thing and do that, and ignore distractions. This game, you basically played like IRL Attila the Hun (this is what we told you to do, LOL). do you think Attila built any temples, markets, or cared about philosophy? probably not.
