The system of nature is destructive, it is finite

It is just as accurate to say the system of nature is creative and infinite. With things constantly evolving into other things and eventually evolving into heat.

You wouldn't say that salt being dissolved in water has destroyed the salt. It simply created saltwater. Your choice about what is destruction and what is creation is arbitrary.

You can prolong its existence

The universe will exist infinitely. Nothing you do changes or destroys that. When you talk about minimizing impact, you're talking about the impact to the environment that's sustains consciousness. If that were to be destroyed, that would be detrimental. You're trying to preserve that.

But even if we nuked the whole planet a hundred times over, the universe is fine. It's just converted some matter to a different form.

My point is, your entire framework is actually working against the universe. The universe is a constant state of change trending towards heat. You're doing your best to minimize that trend towards heat. To keep things from changing. To minimize your impact. That is completely against how the universe functions. But it is completely in favor of keeping consciousness around.
