It's kind of hard to hold that against them when you take yourself outside the POV that Mikuru is cute/charming and consider the nature of the organization she represents. Do you really think the time travelers have the luxury of maintaining their future by committing nothing but acts as innocent as insuring that two people will get married?

What do you think the Time Travelers do when they have to ensure that someone needs to die a horrible painful death?

That's viewing it simplistically. The SOS Dan exists to keep Haruhi happy. The three "Haruhi" factions do this for entirely pragmatic reasons, it coincides with their aims.

Espers/Organization:Keep humanity safe
IDE:Study Haruhi
Time Travelers:Preserve history

We get quite a few hints throughout the series that the actual organizations/groups are far more insidious than their representatives in the club would suggest.

Again, our narrator does not have a good overall view of the situation and has personal bias. It's very possible that Fujiwara's goals may be far more noble than his personality or methods might suggest.
