I wouldn't say it's stupid, but it will make a huge mess continuity wise.

How could an alternate time line effect their birth dates ?

It wouldn't. The pre-1973 events remain unchanged. Cyclops should be about 10 in 1973. That First Class cameo made no sense & it will most probably be ignored.

My thoughts exactly. I don't see how an event that appeared to happen after their births would change the day of their births.
The event of 1973 gave birth to the events of the original trilogy, the Wolverine films & the present of Days of Future Past. The time traveler's actions as he or she goes back to 1973 will forever change the events of the original trilogy and the Wolverine films.
Days of Future Past at the end of the day is still First Class 2. The next X-Men film will most probably continue the story of the 1973 ensemble.
It doesn't make sense to make a direct sequel to X3 now. Specially when the events of Days of Future Past will change the events that transpired in the original trilogy. This movie represents the closest we'll get to an "X4" in that it reunites the cast of X3 in a supporting nature.
It's not even a question of "why?" would the studio want to make a sequel to X3 but rather "How?" could they do it now that the timeline where X3 existed has been altered by the events of Days of Future Past.
The franchise that starred Jackman, McKellen & Stewart is done. The only reason we get to see that expired ensemble once more is that its pivotal to the story Days of Future Past is trying to tell.
The studio isn't killing their new franchise by letting go of the old one. They're using the old one in this film to sell the new one. First Class didn't do well at the box office. Days of Future Past probably will and the third film down the line probably will too.
It would be awesome. Marvel Studios has the rights to TV shows for the X-Men, I think. I don't think Fox has the TV rights.
Plus with movies set in the past, they would keep re-introducing characters. But with the present timeline, with the cast of original trilogy, they could do so much more.
Are you even sure they are gonna alter the events of Last Stand? The event that the present X-Men wants to alter might have happened post X3, the time where the Sentinels started to pop-up. So if they managed to alter the future, it would be just post X3 and Jean Grey/Cyclops would still be dead and they could continue post X-3 with X4 after DOFP is released.
The event that they're trying to prevent takes place in 1973. By going back and preventing said event the timeline changes, eliminating all the events of the original trilogy. Those events now only exist in an alternate reality.
Bryan Singer isn't gonna eliminate all the events of the original trilogy while he already said he's not ignoring any films and that will still be the same case after DOFP ends. Plus the original trilogy and The Wolverine would just look really pointless if they are gonna wipe them out just because of 1 film.
Its a big possibly that they will do that. They need some sort of start with the new or old.
