[[WMG: The events of the Season 1 finale altered the timeline.]]
Pike's round-trip to the alternate 2266 in "A Quality of Mercy" may have altered the Prime Timeline slightly. Pike now knows (or at least believes he knows) that Kirk will be his successor as Captain of the Enterprise, and he's shown to be researching him even when he returns to the present. It's possible that, knowing this, he seeks out Kirk and they end up meeting years before they originally would have (which according to Kirk in "The Menagerie" was when he first took over the Enterprise from Pike). He also learned about Una's fate in the alternate 2266, and that's also something that he'll no doubt be working to change. These changes, significant in themselves, will no doubt lead to other changes, resulting in a CloseEnoughTimeline that broadly matches the backstory established by the original series, while serving as a handwave for retcons.

As a corollary to this that might make them seem a bit less heartless, maybe they also TrickedOutTime and recruited the two cadets who were supposed to die into the organization while faking their deaths, because the BadFuture wasn't their fault, and they had no idea what would happen.
