Maybe since he's not part of any faction, and he doesn't want any time distruptors, he can at least destroy some factories that are a threat of the timeline. Also, can a terminator terminate another terminator to prevent some a time alternation to happen? That's the point for all "good" terminators (Take note, there's no such thing as good or bad machines. You can't blame a gun for killing, blame the gunner. You can't blame a non-living machine that is just following orders to kill. Rather, blame the programmer. On the part of the machine, it's nothing personal, he just got to snap your neck because he's programmed to.). To prevent other efficient machines from getting in their way, they blow up factories before any more endoskeletons can be completed. Who knows, the next thing that comes out of there might make the most changes in the timeline.

And that's another point. Machines are still machines. Zomboss is unable to prevent terminators from being reprogrammed. So the terminator units under him are to destroy any of the "rogue" units Dave stole from him (Zomboss says that, that way, the timeline would be steered in the correct way -his way!). Of course, Dave also programmed his own terminators to destroy opposing machines. It helps (or does not help, that depends on which side you are on) that terminators will always be able to identify terminators. No matter how convincing one looks, be it a T-800, T-1000, or T-3000, you can't fool a terminator with a terminator.

Look at The Terminator & The Obliterator. Both machines are programmed to destroy any opposing terminator. Of course, that means they are programmed to kill one another. Since they are equal, there isn't really much success on the part of both when it comes to killing one another.

It's all just a game of changing the timeline or ensuring it stays the way it is, either by killing or protecting people destined for great things or would-be assasins. In short, be their jobs coined as a form of alteration or correction, terminators will always make huge impacts in history, & even become part of it, being just as important as the people they are either meant to kill or protect.
