Are these phrases and expressions old-fashioned? Are they useful to study? thanks in advance.

As you might expect from a list of 15,000 phrases, some are old-fashioned, some are not, some are used occasionally, some I've never heard of. None are necessary.

I think that you could employ your study time in much better ways than by learning this list.

(Note, I didn't study the whole list!)
 
It is a strange list- I wouldn't recommend studying it. Many of those phrases are meant to be used for public speaking, so using them in other contexts may sound strange or artificial.
