The important thing to remember about Freud is that while his ideas may seem spooky to us, you have to consider the ideas he was overturning. Mental issues were seen as everything from the divine spark to a fugitive uterus. He was the first person to examine the psyche with anything resembling rigor and methodology.
Maybe his stuff on eel genitals was better but in psychology.. no, neither rigor nor methodology are things I'd attest him. Nor getting things meaningfully right despite this. Nor to be the first, given that the psychophysics people were already doing work that's both scientifically sound and still a solid basis for contemporary work.
