It matters to us.
Firstly, I don't neccesarily think about people thousands of years in the future. I think about caring for my kids. I KNOW you would also care for your kids (or you do so, if you already have kids of your own) and by caring for your kids.. (and I really hope you aren't going to argue why we'd care for our kids) you are playing a role. You're securing the survival and happiness of the next generation which will let their offspring do the same and the same onward and so fourth. That's how it happens. All you have to do is care about your offspring and the rest of mankind should be taken care of. You DO care about your offspring, right? That's just basic human emotion (for most of us).
