I practice scale studies pretty much every practice session- I alternate between Klose, Baermann, and Kroepsch, and a few others.
I know my scales backwards, forwards, upside down, right side up, yet I still practice them for reasons beyond learning the keys and their key signatures.
I find scales are the best thing to practice for staying in shape with the instrument. Breath control, embouchure control, finger dexterity are covered quite nicely in scale practice. Different keys require subtle, and sometimes not so subtle differences in technique. E major requires different technical aspects compared to F major.
And on musical and expressive elements, again scales are the best to practice. Phrasing, dynamics, articulation, etc- practcing scales allows one to develop musical and expressive concepts that covers any "music" one might play.
If one "learns" scales correctly, it goes well beyond knowing the notes in the specific keys-that is just the surface.
