Very, very stupid. It's Ridley Scott's ego wanting to wipe his butt all over the franchise and reassert himself in the middle of it all, wiping out what he doesn't like.

And really... the whole draw, the whole big tantalizing cliffhanger of Prometheus was, "Whoa... next we're going to meet the Engineers in their homeworld. That's going to be amazing." And now we're going to get none of that at all, just running and screaming and guns.

I agree with your other points, but why would the crossovers even matter? The Predator 2 skull was just a fun little reference put in, not anything intended to be serious. The AvP movies are just bad overall, being obvious cash-grabs that weren't intended to be canon or whatever by the respective franches.
