Since his character was based on a more upbeat version of Jack, that means that defeating Aku and changing the future means that he will personally never develop the persona he is famous for or grow as an individual and become the Bartender we saw in season 5.

In other words....he no longer exists, because without Jack to inspire him he would never come to be who he was.

So his existence is like Ashi's, in that he ceased to exist. While he might still be born again in the future, he would never be what he could have been. So its the same as not existing at all.
