As the title says. Also, where is the line drawn between politeness and insincerity?

Do you need a reason to be polite? You make it sound like a challenge xd
The line between politeness and insincerity is when you start lying.

What about insincere politeness? Is that impolite?

Treat others as you wish to be treated.

That one night Treat others as you wish to be treated. This. Plus, being kind and considerate of others makes (hopefully) them more likely to respect you and give more credence to what you have to say.

I think part of the problem here is that there's a discrepancy between sincerity and politeness at all - which is something you'd have to work on, yourself. Either your definition of "politeness" is so far-reaching that you're actually martyring yourself for those who are genuinely undeserving, or you're actually sincerely antagonistic (or, at best, indifferent) toward others.
Ask not "Why should I be polite if it's insincere?", but "Why am I sincerely impolite?"

Different...Very. I don't get the second question. It's asking at which point does being polite turn into saying something untrue just to make the person feel good. For example, someone makes this absolutely repulsive outfit and asks you how it looks, and you say, "Wow, it looks great...!"

@Title: ...why shouldn't they?
And, you can be sincere and polite at the same time, you know. :3

Good manners is important for impressions and people you want to impress, but to use that as a medium for lies,it is not proper, just offer constructive criticism if you can

For example, someone makes this absolutely repulsive outfit and asks you how it looks, and you say, "Wow, it looks great...!" In this case, it would highly depend on what others consider polite. If the person asking for your opinion really does consider it polite of you to "tell the truth and criticize them of the outfit" then you should be obligated to do something out of the ordinary and tell the truth. As Parodius mentions, offer constructive criticism in this case without bashing and mind raping the other person with your "personal comments" if constructive criticism is what they want.

I try to be as honest as I can and I don't care if I'm being frank at all.

Why not be polite? Most of the time it only takes seconds to do.
