Time-Turning as a Cure-All

While I'm online, let me continue my rant against the idea that 
Dumbledore is Ron and Hermione is McGonagall.

If JKR was going to use time-turning to solve the problem of LV, she 
could have just as easily had someone kill Tom Riddle off as a baby 
and avoid the whole problem.  Why have Dumbledore/Ron bumbling 
along?  Why bother writing these stories if she had a cure-all in 
mind all along?  I'll feel cheated if that is how this whole thing 
ends.
