You're ignoring Crisis and you're ignoring the fact that many Pre Crisis stories are still in continuity.
If you read MoS you'll notice that it skipps around all over the place, covering an entire decade in the life of the character. The years following his first apperance in Metropolis are filled with various Pre Crisis stories, except those that feature other Kryptonians, multiple Kryptonites, Superboy, the multiverse, Archie Bunker, Jerry Lewis, Mohammed Ali, He-Man and trips to Krypton.
The same holds true for Titans and JLA, as well as Pre Zero Hour Legion.
If Birthright were the end result of a justifiable reboot then I wouldn't complain, long as the reboot was really justifiable.
