Obviously mindfulness of the moment, which Anapanasati can achieve as well, but I mean what is the goal of being mindful, what is the desired result we are trying to attain?
satipatthana

Complete freedom from suffering. The only goal in Buddhism. The only goal worth pursuing.
Once things are seen clearly the mind stops giving rise to the causes of suffering.

Well that is the ultimate goal but isn't that via vippasana meditation and realizing sunyata. As in the 8th of the noble path?

Vipassana means seeing clearly. How does one see clearly? Practicing the Satipatthanas. There are 3 realizations: impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and non self.
