I recently took the GRE and got a 159 quant, which is about 75th percentile overall and 25th percentile among math candidates. My cumulative GPA is low, but the highest ranked school I’m applying to is ranked ~75th and my math grades are good/great. Should I bother retaking the GRE?

And in general, do programs care particularly much about the regular part of the GRE? Is it mostly used to weed out applicants?

It is primarily a cutoff tool used to weed out a first round of applicants. That being said, it can also be used to compare two applicants who have very similar profiles. It would be helpful to see your full profile and list of programs you are considering to give you a holistic answer.
