But what else was there to do, really? Even if Kirk hadn't [SPOILER?] died at the end of Generations, it would have been pretty silly to continue on and oops, all of a sudden everyone is 30 years younger with no explanation. I suppose they could have found a gap in the timeline somewhere to slot in a few stories, but that's problematic because you essentially can't do anything important without introducing all kinds of continuity and logic errors. The only other option would have been to do a true reboot, which probably would have been OK. Personally, I like the way it was done better than just throwing out all of the established canon with no explanation.
If you want to piss on Abrams, piss on him for introducing the idea that Star Trek-style starships are built in a gravity well and are routinely capable of atmospheric flight. To me, that's where he really shows his lack of sci-fi cred.
