So why is anyone called a criminal when the very lawmakers will be fodder as well?
Nothing matters once they're all dead, in the scheme of evolution.

So you think you matter, but a murderer doesn't.

If the only sense in which it mattered was how those systems informed our actions and the pursuant consequences of those actions..it would matter plenty enough. This is, conveniently, the "consequentialist" position.
We -just- went over the answer to your question...didn't we?
So the moral system is a temporary condition.
