Is it true that the concept of "species" loses its meaning when taking time into account?

Species are just a social construct.

How does it lose its meaning? Life is continuously evolving so how species are defined could be said to be based on snapshot frames of reference. But even if you could view a continuous timeline of the history and future of life speciation would still exist. There would just be blurred lines at transitions between ancestor and descendant.
