By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

1) Shards of the Crystal were recovered by both the Covenent and the UNSC.
No, the Covenant only got a single shard (Tartarus giving it to Truth in the epilogue of First Strike). The UNSC didn't get any of the shards.
2)The destruction of the shield world may have caused a time-warp. John-117 would have gone through the same event following the destruction of the Ark.
Oh, this is hilarious. No, Onyx was comprised of trillions of Sentinels that disengaged and began fighting off the Covenant fleet. If it caused a "time warp" and they were sent into the acid-based idea you have, then why is the epilogue set within the Micro Dyson Sphere?
3)We don't know what happened to Gray Team, therefore we can assume that they have stumbled upon a method of Time-Travel.
4)Dyson Sphere = Forerunner Structure, Time-Travel is a possibility within the sphere.
*Convinced you are trolling.*
5)MB knows that all Forerunner are dead, he is attoning for his past actions by sending John into the past to prevent the Human-Forerunner war and stop the Flood from revolting and turning upon their enslavers(Phfor=Forerunners)(who very closly resemble the S'pht in Marathon, organic beings who are only sentient with the aid of technology. Controlled by a central intelligent being [Gravemind?]).
The Forerunners aren't dead, they left the galaxy at the end of the Forerunner-Flood war after reseeding life and passing the Mantle to humanity. Bias is atoning by sending a Reclaimer to them to prove he's changed, that's going to mean bugger all if he sends John back before the Human-Forerunner war where the Forerunners hate humans.
The Human-Forerunner war was about 50,000 years before the Flood showed up. How can you make up a theory on the basis of a part of Halo history that we've had about a paragraph of info about?
7)What's your point behind this?
You said Cortana or Halsey would be their guide. Cortana is rampant, Halsey doesn't fit into the "theory" at all.
The picture is clear if you do the research.
All that's clear right now is that you're either a very successful troll, or just plain stupid.
