Well, I don't really see the point of perceptions if they are the only knowable reality.

Illusions and hallucinations still exist as perceptions - they are merely inconsistent with the phenomenon that normally are experienced.
You're going to have to clarify this. To distinguish between a hallucination and what we would consider a normal perception, you're comparing the two against some sort of outside standard, whether it be consistency (coherence) or correspondence or something else. You're denying the correspondence theory of truth. Are you proposing a coherence theory of truth?
