What is the usage of orbitals more complex than f orbitals?

Every high school learner, in each corner of the world, faces the lesson History of Atom during his courses, just as I did. We learned about s,p,d and f orbitals, though there were no signs of orbitals in molecules.

Then I wondered, are there any other orbitals, simpler or more complex, than the four mentioned? Surprisingly, I learned that there are also usages for orbitals g,h,i and even k and l.

Yes, I use the word "usages". Because I believe, unless something is useful, it will never enter the domain of science. Anyway, I read in wikipedia (though not much of it I did understand) that these orbitals are used when describing and doing the measurements of molecular orbitals.

Since no element in the periodic table has enough electrons to fill even orbital g (in its base state), in cases of molecular orbitals that have a g defined in themselves, atoms must have been excited. Excitation needs energy, doesn't it? Where does this energy come from? Isn't the formation of new bonds usually exothermic?
