Classification isn't the same as climate imo - one is an attempt to impose boundaries within the spectrum of all climates, while the other is the real world factor which determines what can grow in any given place.
Which is why places near the edge of a classification zone can have more similarities to nearby places in a different zone than to faraway places in the same zone. That doesn't invalidate the classification; it just means that classification serves a different purpose.

Classification isn't real - it's just a reflection of how the author views climates.
How is Cfb classification useful for where I live?
Well it allows me to predict that you have a generally westerly flow powered by mid-latitude cyclones and that your rainfall is roughly evenly distributed throughout the year.
It's not perfect though. For example, it fails to predict that you can go skiing in the morning, surfing in the afternoon, and go to sleep on a bed of homegrown avocados.

But it won't tell you that the majority of my areas rainfall is due to tropical systems, or that winter is about as sunny as summer.
.... wish I could go surfing in the afternoon here.
Please elaborate. On average the remnants of just one single tropical system hits the entirety of New Zealand each year.
I would say a cyclone a year, plus the so called atmospheric river.
The warm front aspect of midlatitude lows can also be considered as subtropical imo.
