Do I have to use/report the max Capital Loss Carryover???? Please help

Greetings - I have $80K in Capital Losses carried over from last year.  Last year I reported the maximum $3k and it did NOT help my tax return at all.  So what is the point of reporting the max or can I put in 0 or say 100 and carryover the rest to a time when it's actually beneficial???  Say when I have actual capital gains to offset???

 

Just seems dumb to draw down on my capital losses when it's not beneficial at all.  Thank you so much
