Galatians 5:6 says "in Christ Jesus, circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything", but Romans 2:25 shows that the "In Christ Jesus" severely limits the context. Circumcision has great value, whether it refers to being a Jew or being physically circumcised according to the commandment, but circumcision itself won't gain you any favor with God. That is dependent on your faith and the obedience that faith produces.

Thought for Today: Monday January 20
The believer has a union with Yeshua Moshiach that is nobler, more intimate and more perfect than the union between the limbs of the human body and the head. And remember -- a conscience that is eased by the presence of Moshiach in the heart, should be the guide of every person.
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 29:11-13 TS2009
[11] For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and an expectancy. [12] Then you shall call on Me, and shall come and pray to Me, and I shall listen to you. [13] And you shall seek Me, and shall find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

We are so eager to keep the entire law to the best of our abilities and wants that we sometimes throw out parts of the Torah based on the New Testament interpretations of the laws.
Your quote of Romans 2:25 says it best: "For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision."
Circumcision under the law to this day still has the same value as in Biblical times. Even the New Testament writers don't say otherwise.
What it does mean is that being circumcised doesn't open any special doors if you don't keep the law.
