I'm not a lore freak, but I have a general respect for lore.

The Helm Hammerhand and Isildur Ringwraith thing made me go "Uhhm, what...?"

For the Black dude and the female in minas Ithil I would just say it's because today people are bitching about political correctness, etc. I don't like that, but I don't really care because it doesn't influence the game atmosphere. Sure, SoM and SoW are uncanon, but I enjoyed playing SoM and will enjoy playing SoW, when I get my hands on it.

I view this franchise as something alternate and if people don't, then their eyes should be opened. Those games have nothing to do with Tolkien's work and are "just" based on them. But I don't see why people need to bitch about it. And I also never heard about Monolith saying that their games are canon.
