Definitely there is nothing wrong with collecting the miles.

As for the airline,it would help if you will find a cheaper fare and point recruiter's attention towards it.

Invariably, they will say, "Yes, the United flight gets in around then. Would you like me to book that for you?
20 minutes from arrival to dinner is cutting it very close, unless dinner is in an airport restaurant. Even then, there are flight delays, delays getting out of the airplane / airport, time spent figuring out and finding ground transportation, etc..
I think the key words in the quoted post are "need to arrive ... at ..." It doesn't say that's when the dinner is. 4:30 would be really early for a business dinner. The dinner itself could be at 6 in this hypothetical example, or even later.
