Plus Christian Bale can make anything good, even Little Women.

Though I haven't taken the time to read the article yet, based on your synopsis it sounds like a similar situation as when Trunks comes from the future to give Goku the heart medicine and help fight the Androids and ultimately defeat them, yet when he returns to his timeline they still exist and nothing is changed (except he's more badass and beats them without much effort.) Oh, and great job on Sunday night. I was indeed in attendance and it was actually I who drew the "Walking boombox carrying an R&B singer on its shoulder" card, which you dealt with quite handily.

Assuming, of course, that Skynet is never actually prevented from being created. Until that is shown to be true, there is no reason to believe that the sending of various good and bad terminators is anything other than what has already happened, and nothing could have been done otherwise. Part of the problem with this is that we tend to work from the assumption that we are the present. The people in our future very much consider themselves to be in the present, and it is perfectly logical to accept that Connor is sending terminators back to protect himself because he knows that those terminators showed up to help him in his own past (the present time of T1, T2 and T3) Even more, the Terminator timeline can be considered consistent without the need for the multiverse theory.

But without Skynet being created, there is no time travel. An effort in futility.

Time travel is perhaps the single coolest concept in science fiction. With regard to actual possibility, I don't think that changing the past is possible, and in the multi-worlds theories in which it is, it doesn't matter because you aren't changing anything, as that split time line already existed as well.
