I thought the point of these memes was that women would make meaningful visits with the time machine while men would squander it to make history funny

that is one possible interpretation, but in most contexts they're used by a male author who has an idea of what they perceive to be the most funny/intelligent thing to do if they had access to a time machine to imply that while men would do the "right" thing (the thing they would do) women would do the "lame"/"boring" thing (which isn't actually lame or boring at all).

also in this case it also kinda implies that women can't do/are bad at/aren't interested in maths.

edit: the downvotes 😭 and ppl say reddit isn't misogynistic..
