And even if they knew that someone from the "present" was going to be his father it wouldn't exactly change their actions...the machines are still trying to kill off everyone anyway.

In Terminator 2, the second Arnold T-100 arrives and helps the Conners stop judgement day. The only problem is the T-100 only knows of a history in which Cyberdyne helps the military complete skynet. By blowing up the cyberdyne building they postpone judgement day the extra number of years it takes the Military to finish skynet by themselves, as they would have in the history before the frist Terminator ever arrived.
