This was a bad decision on someone's part based upon what fans were asking for. Not all three of the writers agreed that this was the way to go and I agree that it was a mistake. It was always intended to be an alternate reality though, even in the (poorly done) retelling.

"But if they're not going to try to be Star Trek, in the ways that matter, what's the point of even having them?"

Money. The new movies brought interest to TOS and the rest of Star Trek to people who'd never had any interest before. People love Star Trek (reboot). I know there are fans who don't appreciate all the ways that it isn't classic trek, but there are fans who don't care about that at all.

"What makes people love Star Trek is the ability to go anywhere in space and do any kind of story, the dorkiness and sincerity, the curiosity and the romanticism and the fundamental optimism about the human condition. And I think it's reasonable to complain that the new movies have, so far, not really conveyed that."

I see a few die hard fans complaining about this, but for the most part, people complain about specific relationship dynamics, not the lack of exploration. All of that exists in the original canon, and yet, the reboot is still more popular. Even with so many people being introduced to TOS. The love for all of the things you mention does not outweigh people's love of the characters and that is what the reboot brought.
