Time travel can't exist as it doesn't exist in any physical sense, time is a convenient plotting of continuity. The past doesn't exist once it passes, just as the future doesn't exist until it occurs, everything outside of now isn't real and thus is untraversable.

And then you have things like the double slit experiment and quantum entanglement...

Otherwise known as interpreting information with insufficient investigative tools and deriving an illogical result. An awful lot of quantum stuff involves BSing inconclusive results to garner further funding.

Ahh but we have the ability to alter the universe around us already, so who is to say we could not alter it to an extreme, reverting it to a previous state, therefore, in all intents and purposes, travelling through time (to a previous universal configuration).

Because we can alter what exists, not what doesn't. We can modify existance, we can't touch the intangible.

Time may indeed be an illusion, but, the underlying reality is malleable, an any conscious entity with enough power and knowledge should be able to reshape it.

Reshaping the universe to look how it did 100 years ago would not be time travel, but physical manipulation. Also, a major issue with your conclusion is that an awful lot of knowledge is lost forever and never recorded and you would never be able to recreate the past.
