Question: Since the destruction of Cyberdyne in the end of the movie, even considering that "Pops" is from the original (now alternate) timeline, wouldn't that fact alone delete the existence of the Terminator?

Continuity mistake: After Pops puts the deactivated T-101 in the truck, the mouth is closed in typical grim determination type look. A few minutes later, the expression has changed somewhat and the mouth is slightly agape. Later, in the factory, the 101 is laid on the floor, and the face is in the original position of determination.
Chosen answer: If we accept the theory that alternate timelines even exist, branching off every time there is deliberate interference through time travel, then it becomes entirely possible for time travelers to continue existing in alternate timelines, even if they erased their own origins.
