Or maybe it's the fact that Satoshi still has a million BTC in his wallet is the very proof that he is a time traveler?

Maybe he went as far as he could into the future, emptied his wallet then, came back, dumped coins in the present, put the money in a savings accounts, then went back to the future a few seconds before the moment he emptied his wallet last time, empties his still-up-to-now full wallet, comes back to now, dumps, puts that into a savings account and repeats until we get all tired of his bullshit and he has more than enough to live off the single digit interest some shitty banks gives him while also being the richest man in the world.

If you look at the output script for that output, you can see it looks like this:

RETURN PUSHDATA(32) [some garbage]
This script, beginning with OP_RETURN, is called a null-data output, and is used to store arbitrary data in the blockchain. These outputs can never be spent, there is no way to make the script ever evaluate to true. Because of this, they will always show up as unspent on blockchain, and can be pruned from full node UTXO sets.

In general it's required that these outputs are accompanied by at least one 'normal' output. Any bitcoins in an OP_RETURN output are destroyed forever because they cannot be redeemed, that is why they all have 0 value.
