The alternate timelines didn't get erased, though. They're all new realities. It's just that the Infinity Stones had to be brought back at the moment the stones left. So Alternate 2014 still exists, Alternate 2013 exists, Alternate 2012 exists, and Alternate 1970 exists. The branches will always exist. The stones simply needed to be returned so that those Alternate realities had their primary weapon.
