What did the Uber Morlack mean ....

What did uber mean by saying "just as I am the inescapable result of you"?
Is he saying that Alex is, somehow, responsible for the existence of the morlacks or the moon braking or the powers of Uber himself?

And why did he let him go? Go where? Why not just kill him and keep or destroy the time machine? Better yet, use the time machine, if he can, to his own advantage?

Why wasn't he afraid that Alex would use the TM to change the past or future?
The argument that "you can't use the TM to save Emma" only works in Emma's case since it was her death that caused him to built the TM. But, seemingly, the TM had nothing to do with the condition of the earth 802,701 years in the future. Therefor, logic dictates he should be able to make some changes to the future or past, as he did by taking the Uber from his present at 802,701 years, killed him and landed at about 635,427,810 years in the horrible future.

How come there are still the horrible looking caves 635,427,000 years in future with no much change? In 800,000 years of evolution we have the elois and the morlacks, but in 634 MILLION years we have not much evolution? If you going to give us an unrealistic fantasy, then please do, take it to the fullest extent.

Earth's moon has never been in disarray, but since it was in the movie, it completely changed the atmospheric conditions of the planet; forcing some humans to go underground and others remained on the surface. As you could see, those who remained above(from the small colony we saw) were of mixed race and had no clear distinction of a known language. Whereas the morlocks evolved differently, some resembling apes, whereas others (Über Morlock) somehow experienced mutations within the subconscious allowing them mental abilities such as mind control and dream invasion.

When Über Morlock tells Alexander he is the inescapable result of him, he's referencing mankind as a whole. Man's constant need to advance itself will ultimately be its undoing which came in the form of the moon colony ultimately destroying its inner core.
