@Callum, so if you're no longer trying to debate time travel, and the absurd concept of Chaos deciding to pre-emptively whipe out humanity, then why are we still debating this. This would be decent material for a fanfic, but these ideas are incompatible with 40k.

"this statement is simply wrong: the majority of galactic slaughter is conducted by firstly tyranids on everyone else, and secondly by orks on orks. yes they have no direct impact on the gods but "khorne cares not from where the blood flows, only that it flows." and humanity, while they probably are 3rd in this league, don't even compare to the 1st two. "

Even though it said in that statement that it was conducted on Humanity (by itself or other xenos), you somehow missed that part. Orks of course fight, xenos fight eachother all the time, yet a major part of the Warhammer 40,000 plot is the eternal war and strife of Humanity against alien races. Ork waaaghs devistate entire Imperial star systems, Tyranid hive fleets put entire segmentums at threat, Craftworld and Dark Eldar strike at humans randomly, and Tau are constantly trying to expand, causing them to war with the Imperium. Not to mention Necrons are on the rise, and minor xenos species wage war against Humanity. It almost sounds like you've forgotten that the Imperium is a star spanning galaxy, which attracts xenos and causes them to fight mostly against humans. Of course xenos fight eachother  but since they encounter humanity on almost every planet, they'll obviously wage war on them.

The majority of the psykers vunerable to Chaos belong to who? Not the Craftworld Eldar, since they have managed to hone their minds to protect themselves from the warp. Not the Orks, since the Ork weirdboyz do not directly use power from the warp, and instead use the energy generated by Ork waaaghs. Not the Tyranids, since they're all connected to the Hive Mind and Shadow of the Warp. That leaves only one race: Humanity. And furthermore, whos' politics and people scheme the most? Dark Eldar scheme all the time, yet they're already wholy devoted to feeding one Chaos God, leaving little for Tzeentch to feast on or gain a foothold. Tau are quite happy with their leaders, and I doubt Farsight's has complicated schemes running to kill Aun'Va. Craftworld Eldar are satifsfied with their leaders, Tyranids are satisfied with their leaders, Orks compete against eachother much of the time, yet they have no set political system and with them, the biggest Ork is the greatest, which means Tzeentch can't gain much there. We're now left with Humanity. Imperial politics are constantly making secret pacts with Tzeentch in order to scheme ahead of their opponents, Terra itself might as well be Tzeentch's refrigerator due to the amount of devious plotting, schemeing, and out-manevuering of Imperial politicians. And again, no one knows when Tzeentch was truly born. I thought you already knew that.
