What good is IFR certification then?

I've often wondered what it means to be certified for instrument flight rules if the planes can't land in fog! I once flew PUB-DEN and the plane wouldn't take off because of fog in Denver. This was over the holidays and caused massive IRROPS. Isn't the point of IFR to be able to land WITHOUT visibility and rely only on the instruments?
