I certainly don't feel that the moral value of my actions should depend on the beliefs of people living hundreds of years in the future.

Don't worry, you have it backwards. The moral value of your actions is not determined by the beliefs of any people, but rather the people's beliefs are an attempt to track the facts about the moral value of your actions (assuming there is such a thing at all).
