My favorite aspect of this is if the future humans hadn’t done what they did with Cooper then the future humans wouldn’t have existed.

It’s my favorite oddity in stories in time travel where someone had to develop time travel and go back in time and change something, in order for them to be able develop time travel.

I always have to just assume there was a small group of survivors that kicked things off.

If I get really creative maybe there was some kind of motive for it too. Future humanity is on the losing end of a war and the only way to win is by reaching back in time to try and create more survivors from the disaster on Earth so that the future will have a stronger position when the war starts. They can't directly send matter back in time but they can manipulate energy to open a wormhole...
