Loss of energy occurs whenever energy is transferred from one medium to another.

Hydrogen is, at this important moment, the only non-CO2 portable fuel we have. Yes, it doesn't have the efficiency of fossil fuels but it does have positive energy output even so.

We were using fossil fuels because of their efficiency, but we need to stop using fossil fuels because of CO2 emissions. Hydrogen does have less efficiency but more importantly does NOT emit CO2.

It isn't a question of whether we should displace fossil fuels with hydrogen but how quickly we can do it.
