What already has been said:
1. The usage message comes if "$2" is passed (See 3.)

2. Use more (often) quotes around variables (imagine file names with spaces, though not wanted, but might happen anyway.
3. [ -d "$1" ] Checks if $1 is a directory [ -z "$1" ] Checks if an argument has been passed at all
If no argument has been passed, say so, dont use the (unescaped) variable-name, as that part will be empty if no argument has been passed.
Likewise for the destination.
Example:
4. Place the results of find into variables (lists), as that could help to remove duplicates.
