I'm trying to think of one positive thing they do, but I can't.

Why do ranking exist ? I'm trying to think of one positive thing it does, but I can't.

If you hit gold, you get a free skin. There is one positive thing.

What I meant by that, is that there is no "positive" impact either side. Promos are there to make you stress as much "as if you were in a tournament".

Ranking stays ranking. There is no positive impact what so ever. Even the skin/ward skin isn't a positive impact. Because anyway, once you reached that point, the skin/ward skin isn't even rewarding because everyone around you has it anyways. It's not even a show-off move.

If you want a real positive impact, Promos help you control your stress IRL.

Promos are a pretend world set up to make you believe they're doing something. It's like Oz.

I loved the Shurima promo.

And this year's URF. They were both awesome.

Promotion series make progression less swingy for inconsistent people while remaining trivial for people who maintain high win rates.

I'd say promo series make it harder to climb with a low MMR. But low Diamond is the proof that it's not the case, people rank up too fast then hit a wall when their MMR needs to catch up.
