If a framework comes with a few things like a DB-connect module, a

helpful in jumpstarting you on a project and not reinventing the wheel
each time, but if it does much more than that, then it's bloat and
will actually be a hinderance as you will waste more time figuring out
how to use it and trying to customize it then you would have just
writing it yourself.
Most of the frameworks I've used are exactly what you have described.
They make it a lot easier to build a website from the ground up. You
don't have to worry about the things you listed. All you have to do is
create your controllers, models, views, etc and you've got a website.
You can focus on the actual content and functionality of the site
without having to worry about all of the base classes and functions.
