well maybe a manned mission to mars isn't such a pointless venture, tell them to bring shovels.

And how can you justify the expenses to go to mars even if it's just to find micro life.

Yes.
If that micro-life is not natural to life on Earth it would be a scientific breakthrough. It could result in us having to re-evaluate everything we know and the organisms could even help in the medicare industry and many others.

There is ice on mars and where there is water there certainly can be life

No reason why there shouldn't be life on mars...
I assume the planet has a molten core - therefore it has energy, and water, the energy can be used to melt the water... and we have a way of making oxygen, no reason why something else could not do the same...

Considering that we are digging tunnels under the earth as our contingency in case of a global catastrophy that makes the surface uninhabitable. Why wouldn't the inhabitants of mars do the same?
For that matter who says they were EVER surface dwellers? We assume that because we are, that others must be at some point.. this is not necessarily realistic.

If there are any species at least as evolved as us, im pretty sure they would have left traces on the face of their planet if they were capable of this.. And no, the human-face doesnt count.
And technology making someone capable of living under ground for a longer period of time, should also make them capable of traveling from Mars to Earth without a problem.
