They weren't going after human colonies until McKay dicked with their code in the first place, though. Before the Atlantis team showed up, they were just hanging out on their homeworld and basically minding their business.
That happens a lot in Stargate. Atlantis woke the Wraith. Atlantis woke the Asurans. Atlantis created Micheal. O'Neill alerted the Goa'uld that humans had become a threat. SG-1 alerted the Ori to the Milky Way.
The Stargate universe would be better off without the Earth in it. Its like MCU Iron Man or Spider-Man - almost everything bad that happens anywhere is actually due to them.
That said, now they are awake, they really don't have much choice to do something about it.
While the Atlantis team's choices are... questionable at times, I really must protest when it comes to the Milky Way Galaxy.
If it wasn't for Earth and the Tauri, countless billions of humans and Jaffa would still be slaves to the Goa'uld. Actually, if O'Neill hadn't done what he did in the movie, Anubis would rule the galaxy and Earth would either be enslaved or destroyed. The Asgard would have been wiped out, and eventually the Replicators would make their way to the Milky Way, too, and fought Anubis' forces, most likely leading to him wiping out all lifeforms with the Dakara superweapon.
So no... the Stargate universe is definitely better off with Earth interfering. Even if they do make some pretty big mistakes at times.

With SG-1, the System Lords were always there whether or not Earth used the Stargate. In fact they did a two parter and a movie on that very concept. Sure, Earth messed up a few times. But in the end, they did free the Jaffa, human worlds and tore down the System Lord's.
Also, Anubis would still show up and assert his dominance over the others. I wonder why Anubis being a huge threat in any timeline to Earth is never brought up. Did Anubis not know where Earth was too?
Replicators would havd eventually defeated the Asgard and possibly migrated to the Milky Way.
Ori is the only one that would have done nothing without Earth interference.
Wraith was always there. They got woken up. There were plans to counter them but they were pretty small or probably wouldn't work from the local humans. Yeah Atlantis woke the Wraith up before the human population got a chance to recover.
