Well but thats not how Time Travel works in the X-men universe. If you change the past the present is altered. Thats what happened in the movie and so the present or future rather is now altered and thats why characters like Jean Grey and Cyclops are still alive by the end of the movie.

And yes it makes more sense to get Mystiques DNA and not Darwins. First off Darwin was killed in First Class and there is nothing left to use and second Darwin is adapting to his environments but Mystique can actively change her genetic code. They used this as a basis for the Sentinels and improved upon it by making the Sentinels being able to actively copy a mutants power set so they would be more effective against a certain mutant.
