As far as I know, there is a semantic difference. Here is my try:
There is no point in using this pen. --- It is useless to use this pen.
What is the point of using this pen?-- Show me the logic behind your using this pen, I want to learn.
There is no point in using this pen. --- It is useless to use this pen.
