Hyperthymesiacs generally don't have this problem/solution (however you look at it). Personally, I'd rather not remember things wrongly. The only problem with hyperthymesia is you need to have the right personality for it not to be a burden to you (very high emotional stability, for instance), so it wouldn't be great for everyone. Since human beings are still evolving, I don't think there's any reason to believe we're meant to do things one way rather than another. Edit: I should note that hyperthymesiacs are not immune to false memories, despite their superior memory: http://www.pnas.org/content/110/52/20947.abstract http://www.pnas.org/content/110/52/20947.abstract
