In theory there is no button to push in the Alt Timeline. The bomb defused the pocket of energy that the Dharma guys accidentally tapped into to.

No pocket of energy means no button to press, means Desmond couldn't miss the button and cause the plane to crash...as it didn't cos it landed at LAX with Desmond on board. Meaning Des never even went to the island. Or so we are lead to believe.

You don't seem to be getting that the original timeline (from '77 to the plane crashing on 22nd Sept 2004) has nothing to do with the new Alt timeline (whatever happens between '77 and 815 landing in LA). People cannot crossover and meet people in the different timelines - as you thought could happen earlier.
