Yes, I agree with you that a link is good if it is created from a quality site and there is no place for the links which are created from the spam sites. But page rank is not any factor by which we can now identify the quality of website. I f we created the links from a quality site then only page rank is not the factor, many other factors like domain authority, page authority, popularity of domain etc are responsible to make it quality website. If you are acquiring the links on the basis of page rank only then it will not much beneficial for your website.

Well, have you ever seen a good quality & stable site with high DA have really low PR? OR opposite? It's been the long time people stopped talking about PR and started talking about DA. But I never shed PR from my consideration list. If PR is dead, then why it is there? Google might have removed PR score from its SERPs algo but it does not mean than PR bar is showing different thing than it was showing from starting. Any page with PR7 is obviously had higher value than a page with PR3. PR score gives very clear idea of backlink profile of any page (I believe beyond link profile as well). If you want to ask if you care PR or not, then I suggest YES, do care PR.
There is no way to check pr now. All sites return 0 PR, also PR was easy to manipulate and never gave 'clear view' of the site backlinks.
Today, you can use other metrics like DA, CF, TF and SEMRUSH to find out if the site has any real value to your seo.
