Playing those "bad" hands some sometimes be very profitable if you hit the flop just right. No one expects you to have them. It's basic game theory really. You should play those hands from time to time, just not every hand, and not always coming in with 6-2. (You do it every time, and people will then start to look for you to have it, resulting in smaller pots for you).

There is no "right" way to play poker. There are things you can do to maximize your edge, but every situation (and player) is different. If your way is working for you, more power to ya.
