Explain how? The past was in 1973...if Trask is in his mid 40s, maybe early 50s, it would mean they would have to go to the 1920s...at that time, there was no computer network or anything to find people like today and no one from the group knew anything from Trask from before the 70s...plus Xavier and Eric weren't even born. I think the word you're looking for is cliches...not plot holes...the desperate last stand, the final twist just before the good guys are about to lose...also this is a reset movie...so it nullifies everything previous to it (except First Class, which is even older)...it's a clean slate from now on.
