You should simply want to try to rank for your prefered keywords, no need to waste time trying to de-rank for useless keywords.

I'm guessing the issue is competitive SEO is causing problems i.e. the weird inappropriate traffic is not the problem; it is an indicator of what the problem might be.
But, yeah, I definitely agree that I need to parse exactly what is up to fix the SEO issue and simply not getting found on random stuff is not enough.
