Unironically, no. The last election was the most important in American history, and this next one will do little to undo the damage. Even if Democrats win every seat in the midterms, all it could do is make Trump tear off that last veil of normalcy and make good on his promise to kill “traitors.” That likely won’t happen because too many safe Democrats will fold to maintain normalcy(corporate interests).
Only local races can affect policy in the next election, and all races need to build a left wing political movement that opposes corporate interests to make any progress. The only enemy that’s reachable through elections are the corrupt establishment, not the fascists. They don’t need to win elections, only have enough foot soldiers to crack faces.
The presidential election won’t even matter as long as Trump’s still breathing because his death is the only way he leaves office. I’ve been saying this all year: liberal democracy is over. We will see years of political turmoil as opportunists pretend we can rebuild on the old system, but the foundation is now too rotten to remain stable. It will never be the same.
Soooo…. The next election isn’t that important?

It’s important in so far as your preference, the party of the carrot or the party of the stick.
