Before taking a full day's delay, why not drive to SFO (Super Shuttle, Uber, a friend, and so on) and then fly SFO-LAX-AKL? I can't imagine that AA can't find space for you on one of its SFO-LAX services, it sells that route to AKL and it's a <2 hour drive to SFO.
AA won't pick up the tab to get you to SFO and don't gum up your chances by asking. But, even an Uber at $140 (including a decent tip) saves an entire day off what is currently a lousy routing and a delay. Other options likely a good deal less.
Before calling AA, I would suggest writing down the exact flight numbers.
As to the rebooking OA, someone posted AA's policy which is much more transperent and looks to length of delay, class of service, and status, rather than "nice agents" as a decision-tree.

Of course, it is more logical to fly via DFW if in MTY.
Once, I was at DFW and saw flights to SJC, SJO, and SJD all in the same area. I wondered if anyone ended up in the wrong San Jose that day

Unfortunately, weather issues like this weekend’s winds aloft and storm problems can have a significant knock on effect.

I am booked MTY-DFW-LAX-AKL tomorrow (28 Dec). Just received an email to say I am being re-timed to leave MTY on 30 Dec. This means I miss connecting travel in NZ, new years in NZ...what a mess. They claim this is cancelled because my DFW-LAX flight is cancelled but they leave every hour!
We're you on American metal, or a codeshare operated by another carrier? Or do you mean the flight as booked was completely discontinued at some point? OR am I misreading something?

I'm confused. Flight Aware is showing no AA/Eagle cancellations MTY-DFW for Friday, 12-28-2018 (although the last plane is currently on a delay). There was an outright cancellation on Thursday, 2-27-2018.

Just a datum around the rebooking acom question...
AA cancelled DFW-SMF. Put me on DFW-LAX then on UA from LAX-SMF.
Originally AA rebooked me on all AA metal, then I called my travel agent to get me on an earlier flight home. I did stress that this one was on AA, the original cause of the cancel was a crew issue which AA said was their issue. Agent called AA, they said yes. FWIW- I am a PRO. This was an intl business ticket (D and I). MTY-DFW.SMF
Will hit EXP when I get ORC credit for this leg.
