Smell because...
Touch: Not feeling anything would suck...A LOT
Seeing: Being blind isnt very cool
Deaf: Not hearing anything would actually drive me insane
Taste: Cant actually be useful, drinking off milk comes to mind.
Smell: Unless you really depend on it for some reason, then this seems the least useful in the modern urban environment
You can smell milk that's off you know
I'd say taste. As someone said above, most things that are good for you don't taste that great, so, especially in my case, it'd result in a much healthier diet.
As for smell... hell no. It's a very emotion-tied sense, I'm not sure if people saying "smell" are thinking of that when they're saying it. Are you guys/girls actually not attracted by the scent of your partner?
Even aside from that, there are tons of smells that literally define the moment you're in. Think of fresh air after a rain or even better the smell of sea air when you arrive on vacation. I'm not the religious type, but nothing says church to me more than the smell of wax/incense. Sure smell has it's downsides too, anyone who's been on a city bus knows as much, but really, particularly because of the above mentioned reason, but also for the bazillion other nice scents, I wouldn't be too happy about losing it.
