Terminator is pretty straightforward that different timelines exist, so killing your parents wouldn't make you disappear like in back to the future.

Then why does Skynet have such a murder boner for John Connor's past self, when killing him back then clearly wouldn't change anything?
If you're not smart enough to survive, you are basically just food for something smarter.
