Lots to chew on here. I've had similar thoughts around this. The idea that there's an earliest point time travelers can go back to.
We deduced that traveling through time would mean arriving in the same place as air and dust, and since two things can't occupy the same space at the same time; attempts to do so would be catastrophic, so we'd need to build an empty area. A vacuum in a warehouse, with its location, including dimensions and elevation widely, publicly recorded so future time travelers would be sure of a safe 'landing'.
As soon as it's complete, maybe the next day; time travelers arrive.

The book "Lightning" by Dean Koontz refers to something about the surrounding space adjusting to the arrival & departure of someone traveling through time. When they arrive, there's a boom like thunder from the rapidly expanding space that has to make way for the arrival. Then, likewise when someone departs, they leave a vacuum that is swiftly filled in by the air in the surrounding space when it claps shut, also causing a boom.
