The new evil Terminator is very OP. If Skynet can make those, I don't see the need to send one to the past, those things should be able to handle the remnants of humanity.

Going off memory here, but the T-1000 had a few problems with it.
1) It was meant for assassination, not front-line combat. It wasn't able to handle the same heavy weaponry that early Terminator models could.
2) One of the ways it was made so good at stealth and infiltration is that it had learning modules installed, which gave it a sense of self-awareness and capability for adaptability that other Terminators lacked (later Terminator models, like the T-800, also had these modules but always had them switched off unless some specific scenario required otherwise; this is shown in the extended cut of the film). However, Skynet feared this function - its own capacity to learn was what caused it to rebel against its human creators, and it was paranoid that Terminators that could learn would similarly turn against its rule. As such, T-1000s were seldom deployed by Skynet, were always monitored closely for any signs of betrayal, and were coded with instructions to self-terminate once their objectives were complete, so as to minimize the risk of the T-1000s growing too independent.
