I agree that speech was very 'facepalm-worthy', because the reasons you say. But the thing is:

Twilight did something. She showed Starlight the horrible present she caused for Equestria (and Starlight, in that matter. I doubt she'd like to live in a place like that).

I don't think she could have done something before, at least not with Filly Starlight. If changing a tiny thing in the past can lead to those futures, imagine what would happen if, say, Starlight made friends after Sunburst left. For sure, that would change the whole present, and the timeline we know (the one kept after all) would disappear.
