To be fair, from the perspective of Team Flash and Savitar, the original timeline where Savitar was created never happened. For example, Barry doesn't remember the original timeline where he became the Flash in 2020, he only remembers the current timeline.

Similarly, no one would remember the timeline where Savitar was originally created, that sequence of events has been replaced by one in which Savitar was created through a seemingly endless time loop. The fact that the loop can be broken shows that the predestination paradox does not apply here.

Again, I'm not claiming that any of this is true, only that it's consistent with everything we currently know about how time travel works within the show.
