No, but then again humans don't sting either.
What is the function of wasps in nature?
Like bees, for example, the make honey and they help flowers conceive. Ants dispose of all natures garbage. What task do wasps fulfill?

Make humans s**t themselves when they fly into the same room as them. then provide entertainment for humans watching them die after you have sprayed them with the closest aerosol can to hand.
They are the only uses i can think of.

Wasp: Any of numerous social or solitary insects, chiefly of the superfamilies Vespoidea and Sphecoidea, having a slender body with a constricted abdomen, two pairs of membranous wings, mouths adapted for biting or sucking, and in the females an ovipositor often modified as a sting.
basically its a honey-bee on steroids, the main differences being wasps don't make honey and they have the ability to sting more than once. most wasps are dark in colour, although some can be very brightly hued.
more info can be found here and here.
however, "wasps" are also White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, a member of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (organized during World War II as part of the U.S. Army Air Forces to ferry aircraft and to test new aircraft - disbanded in 1944), a London rugby league club or a play by Aristophanes.

wasps still spread pollen from plant to plant, and they are food for many types of wild bird.

Incorrect. Not a single bird eats wasps.
I'm not so sure they help spreading pollen, they'r enot bees you know 
Do they even feed on nectar?
