For Americans, would it be worthwhile to read a book by each

And yes, inb4 a thousand posts about it, I know that would mean reading The Art of the Deal.

Not in the least. All of them will be incredibly subjective, biased, clouded by ego and concern for legacy. It would be worth reading books ABOUT presidents, of course.

The Art of the Deal isn't the worst thing to read. There's plenty of dopey things that you might not consider that can be taken away from it. A lot of it is common sense though.

Surely books about recent presidents (say, post-FDR) will be just as clouded by the author's own like or dislike of them, though? What are some good presidential biographies?

Ulysses S. Grant's memoirs are held in pretty high regard, if that helps. They only deal with Grant's time in the Mexican-American & Civil Wars but they're quite trenchant and well-written. Mark Twain pleaded desperately with Grant to finish them before he died.
