Why was Ptolemy's theory of the universe helpful even though it was incorrect?
That is almost a correct description. Ptolemy's model was not incorrect, because it predicted the positions of the planets quite accurately. So accurately that no-one thought to question it for over a thousand years.
But in the end people decided to try for a more accurate model, and after a couple of attempts a model came up that is now accepted everwhere, which was devised by Johannes Kepler and published in 1609. It was accepted after the discovery of the law of gravity and the laws of motion.
Before that there were some big arguments about which was the right model, and especially about whether the Earth is at the centre, or the Sun.
Kepler's model has the Sun at the centre and this is now accepted because the later discoveries showed that the Sun is far more massive than the planets, so it sits at the centre while all the planets orbit round it.
Why did Ptolemy not use Uranus or Neptune in his diagram?
When Ptolemy was alive, people did not know about Uranus and Neptune, as they had not yet been discovered.
