First, Cain did not help Perrin around the Tower of Ghenjei, just Birgitte. Cain didn't like the idea of going against the precepts.
Second, yes he was spun out before Birgitte was ripped, but he was quite definitely there not long before. We saw him. Plus he turned up when Mat blew the Horn, so he couldn't have been spun out [i]nine years[/i] before, to be born as Olver.
Besides, whaddya mean there's no purpose to Olver if he isn't Gaidal? Olver was the reason Mat stayed in Ebou Dar long enough to get knocked on the head and have to stay long enough to meet Tuon, and that's more than enough purpose for one ten-year-old boy. And if Moiraine is rescued from Ghenjei, Olver might provide important support or at least give Mat vital ideas on the how angle. There's lots of things Olver can do without being a Hero.
