The "me(s)" in these many worlds don't have the continuity to maintain identity.

So you believe that people nowadays have continuity that maintain identity only because you don't believe in MWI?

So if MWI proves true, does this distinction between "copies" and "continuations" become meaningless (according to you)?

No, I think that the other worlds of MWI don't/wouldn't affect our world so continuity/identity in our world wouldn't change if MSI were true (or suddenly became true).

The break in continuity comes BETWEEN (sorry for caps, can't italicize) the many worlds, preventing the "me(s" in different worlds from continuity.
