Acids are neutralized with bases and bases are neutralized with acids; buffers are useful for the stabilization of the pH of a solution.

Don't confuse between (quasi)stabilization of the pH of a solution and the neutralization of a solution.

What thing neutralizes acids and bases?

Substances that neutralize acids and bases are called neutralizers, with the most common being water, which can dissolve both acids and bases, leading to a neutralization reaction. Additionally, compounds like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and calcium carbonate are often used to neutralize acids, while strong bases can be neutralized by weak acids. This process typically results in the formation of water and a salt.

Where do acids and bases have uses?

Acids and Bases are used in basically everything. All cleaners are usually bases or weak acids, that help remove stains, by reacting with the substance. Some weak acids and bases are used in foods, for example vinegar is a base and citric acid (From lemons etc). is obviously an acid. Please respond if this did not fully help you understand acids and bases uses.
