I don't think you need anything else to point out how absurd the ending is.
I guess that argument would be did they hop universes again going back to the future thus creating a new Biff that technically never raped Marty’s mom because new George and new Lorraine got involved before that event could happen?

Hey, time travel is tricky business.
But basically, for all the other things listed, ... because the movie NEEDED it to happen.

Marty goes outside to look at the 4x4 and Jennifer shows up. I guess she didn't want to hang around at her grandma's for long the next day. But then Doc shows up. Why would he pick ~11am to come back to the present from 2015? He knows Marty is there at ~3am, should have come right back, which was what he did sending Marty back to 1985. Make it so it's like you never left. I get that it's a movie, but seems weird for Doc to come right then.
He probably left 2015 at around that time.
To keep yourself from getting jet lag (or time machine lag) you should probably try to arrive at the same time of day from the time you departed, unless you have a specific reason for changing the actual hour.

5. Doc decides they should bring Jennifer along (because they didn't have BTTF2 fleshed out I assume), but they tell her nothing about time travel, the DeLorean, what's going on. Just get in the car and we're going to talk about your future kids and how we have to help them. Also you're about to transform into Elisabeth Shue.
They mostly explained that in the movie. She saw the time machine arrive so Doc more or less panicked and brought her along because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

If such a car existed I would go find a random skank and see if it works.

I never knew that. Ultimately it becomes a nonissue because the rest of the movie is enjoyable.

The attempted rape in the car was essentially the pre-text for George and Lorraine getting together. Everything else happened after that because it had to.

Why are you going to the office at lunchtime on a Saturday? They're both hardcore making you come in on Saturday, but also lax about what time you show up?
Meh many professionals go in on Saturdays to catch up on things not because they’re required to, including what time they get there. That’s how it’s been in many of my jobs.
Suit on a Saturday is kinda odd but still a non-issue.
