After all, Valyrian steel can only be forged with dragonfire, a sure sign of magic if there ever were one. Sure, killing Drogon and Rhaegal would have provided the White Walkers with even more cover for future battles, but they got what they wanted.

When The Night King came to the wall riding on Viserion's Back, the wall seemed to have changed into butter. The wall, which was built with tough material and even infused with magic to protect against such an attack, just melted under the dragon flames, and Jon Snow declared it useless to defend all of a sudden. Instead of The Great Battle of Winterfell, all those armies should have been defending the exact point of the mile-long wall that the dragon breached Unless the dragon melted all the wall, which would make even less sense.
During the Halcyon days of the Nightswatch, it manned a total of 17 castles along the wall, with each castle being supplied by Rangers, Builders, Stewards, and a Maester.
The kingdoms have abandoned the Night's watch over the years now, and only three of the 19 are manned. This means that most of the wall is no longer manned, leaving it vulnerable to Wildlings and White Walkers' attacks.
So, if such a vast section of the wall is unmanned, why didn't Mance Rayder choose another point to breach the Wall rather than face the humiliation he did at Castle Black? And then, if most of the wall has been in disrepair and unmanned for so many years, how is it all still standing? After the Long Night eight thousand years ago, everyone realized the threat posed to the living by "The Others," and hence came together to construct the wall. The Wildlings and the giants took part in the construction of The Great Wall, just like the people of Westeros, meaning they were also entitled to its protection like everyone else.
The wall was only build to protect against the dead and not the living as it does when the show starts. However, in Game of Thrones , they are considered a threat to the people on the south of the wall and killed at the very wall they helped construct.
So what crime did these many tribes of the Freefolk commit to deserve their alienation? Many people believed The Wall to be indestructible because of the power and protection infused into it when it was constructed.
According to Samwel Tarly, the wall did have dragon glass to prevent the Wights and the White Walkers from walking through to Westeros. When the Night King attacked the wall, Viserion's blue flames destroyed the wall but didn't melt the rubble.
This would mean that the rubble the Night King and his army walked over when entering Westeros had both the magic and Dragon Glass that should have prevented their march South, but somehow, none of it worked. The Wall is permanently covered in ice, which makes the biggest portion of its protective shield. Now, there is something about ice that doesn't add up when you think about the great wall. When the sun comes up, the ground heats faster than the top, which would mean that at least some ice at the bottom of the wall, if not all of it, would thaw, leading to more ice falling from the top of the wall to the bottom.
