If you truly see Poomse as a way to learn how to defend yourself then you truly have never studied TKD from a real master. Poomse in TKD werent designed to teach you how to defend yourself and rather than give and explaination and contribute to your "learning of TKD", I would prefer you find a TKD master and take a few decades of classes to learn the real meaning behind them. But it might be in a book somewhere to save you some time.
It shows how much peole dont know and understand TKD when the look at the poomse and say "those aren't real practical forms". your right. they arent. Doesn't stop them from having a purpose and meaning.
But they could be. That's my perspective anyway and I am learning the KKW style now so I hope I don't speak as a total outsider.
