It's not an idea, go to the official page for preordering and read it. It states on the website that at least Right to Rule will be added to the base game for free by September, and the Steam pages mentions Crossroads as also being available in the base game after March I believe.
I think you've misunderstood. Those are both paid DLC packs. No one in their right mind is going to buy a pack that costs nearly twice as much as the base game just to get some DLC earlier.

This infographic they have spells it out, and shows that the Standard edition doesn't get either of those packs.

Right to Rule will be available by September--not released for free. And likewise, the components of the Crossroads DLC will be released in March, but not for free.

If you get the Deluxe edition, you are pre-purchasing the Crossroads DLC. If you get the Founder's edition, you're prepurchasing both. If you get the Standard edition, you'll have the option to buy these DLCs separately when they come out. We don't know pricing yet, but it's likely that some sort of bundle discount is factored into the Deluxe and Founder's editions,

You are probably correct; that is my mistake.
 
The absolute main idea of the game is to accompany one civilisation from the cradle to the grave, from the beginning to the end. whether units have 10 or 100 or 2348 HP is not part of the main principle of the game. It might affect your fun with the game but it does not destroy the core of the game.

What "grave" / "end" does mean is debatable, I'll give you that, but one thing is sure: it is not in the past.

So, instead of "one civilisation from the beginning to the end" we get "three or four civilisations from the beginning to somewhere in the past, or so, well, we don't care, all we care for is that the children of our CEOs can buy their fourth car, hurray!". if only they had the honesty to at least rename the game into civilizations VII.
But you didn't mean that in the sentence I quoted. You meant that a fourth expansion would destroy the original game, and I understood the vanilla version, not the principle of the series if there is one. I'll not debate about this though, since you have all eras represented still.

As to your grave/end not being in the past, I firmly disagree. Civilization formula has to evolve, and I want a true rise & fall of civilizations. At least now the Civ6 "you have seen empires rise and fall" would not be that empty anymore. (but I would personally have done it differently, see the signature below)
