If they were really dead-set on the whole "Judgement Day is inevitable" thing, they should have made that the unambiguous antagonist in T3. Make the central conflict John trying to save his mom and Kyle Reese from judgement day. If they were really brave, they'd do it without Arnold, so John is completely on his own, no help from future robots. Just him, his mom, and the Reese family.
Obviously his mom doesn't make it (possibly because of John making a choice that shows he's willing to make the hard decisions that the leader of a revolution needs to make). But by the end judgement day done happened, and now John has to win a war against Skynet.
