So according to you, duty to the world is more important? You just sacrifice your mother, father, sister or brother? But of course, you fulfilled your duty and that's the only thing that matters.

Yeah, no. One's family is more important to them than some Middle Earth.

And I am the one considered insane here?

This approach you have is also sexist, by the way. You immediately assume that Idril might not be able to make it out of the carnage. If anyone in Gondolin could make it out, it's her. So the prophecy would still work, just would be fulfilled a little differently than in the books.
