How I Met Your Mother alternate ending

Random thought thread, but I'm watching some episodes on syndication (around season 5 or so) and it kept showing flashes of Robin/Ted which make sense knowing the ultimate ending. I initially hated the finale, then tried to defend it, but now hate it again for this reason:

The ultimate point of the finale I think, and what I tried to defend, was that life throws curveball at you, sometimes vicious curveballs, and you just have to move on and just make new relationships/continue old ones, etc.

Somethibg about Ted/Robin in the finale rubbed me the wrong way though. And the more I think about it the point of the final few scenes would have better been made if in the time several years after the Mother died, when Ted was going chase Robin one last time, he runs into the dermatologist who left him at the alter and they somehow get rekindled.

Life should naturally evolve through its span, and stories should naturally evolve in the telling. Yet, the Ted/Robin shite just felt shoe-horned to me in the end. I think the story evolved past that, but the show forced it in the end because that was their idea from the beginning. Honestly, in repeat viewings I wish he got back with the chick from scrubs in the end than Robin (after the Mother died of course).
