The grail original purpose is to open a path to reach the Root (or recover one of the great sorceries).

Rider wants the grail to be reborn as human again, so he can continue where he left. I could say something else, but naah.

You're wrong. They had wishes. Gilles wanted to see Jeanne again. He thought that was Arturia because he was nuts. Uryuu had no clue about it, so he didn't care, but he did have a wish (see his guts).

Saber wants to change the past to prevent the fall of her kingdom, there's nothing that tells it'll bring a 'better future'. Both Saber's and Kiritsugu's wishes are pretty dangerous since one will erase over 1000 years of human history out of inability to get over your own fail and the other is a manchild's fantasy that can potentially destroy free will and humanity itself. Just as Kirei put it "any sensible adult" wouldn't do that. In the end, Caster team wishes were the more harmless looking despite all the appearances. While the 'protagonist' team has wishes that endanger the world, even if they look noble in theory.
