And my issue is that they're trying to write a story of hope for a world which, for plot purposes, does actually need to be irrevocably doomed or you can't justify the decision to abandon it. Nobody within the story deemed it as disposable until there was (allegedly) no other path possible.

On the other hand, your proposal that we should go back to Elpis and change the timeline would be deeming the present-day world as disposable just to take a shot at saving a newly created alternate version of the ancient world, while not actually saving anyone who already exists.
