"the 3 dimensional acoustic sound wave does not only exist at the single point of a microphone"

To the microphone (and to each of our ears also!), the "3-dimensional wave" (as you call it) appears as a single composite. From these composites, our two ears (and our brain!) are able to experience depth and directionality. To get the all dimensions back (via recorded playback), we need to record in stereo, or (better yet) MCh, or (best of all at this point) a system like DTS:X.

So we've established that we may not get all of the original sound back. But some systems do a more ACCURATE job of getting it back than others do! I guess here's the crux: just because we have limitations on our accuracy (in our current recording and playback systems), it doesn't mean that accuracy doesn't exist, or that one system can't be more or less accurate than another. Even if we're limiting ourselves to two of the three dimensions, some two-dimensional (stereo) systems do a much more accurate job at retrieving and reproducing the sound than others do.
