You forgot a key destinctive aspect here - In your opinion.
I felt the last Trek movie was far more Trek and any of the TNG movies, especially when compared to Nemesis and Generations which, in their own way, killed 2 iconic entities:
1. The TNG crew (AND ship) are axed and replaced with characters who are trying too hard to be funny and trying too hard to be action stars.
2. The icon that was Captain James T. Kirk is killed off for....what exactly? Why?

The morals and values that are inherent to Star Trek were completely lost.

LOL - really? How? Like how it was lost by showing a mind-****, dune buggy chase, boob jokes, drunk jokes, a murderous Captain Picard, etc? Please, don't just throw a claim and run. Explain how the new one loses these "moral" aspects you claim that it does.

In the end it just became a generic action flick where the goal of the heroes was to kill the bad guys.

In the end, that's how most of the popular Trek movies turn out. Kill Khan, kill Chang, kill the Borg queen. Everything leading up to it is either great, decent, or written to make enough sense to lead to this, but it all ends up the same.

The movie would have worked just as well if it starred Ahnold as Kirk

Not really.
