My way of explaining it is that Jack needs to find a home and a family (Torchwood), and the Dr. is making this possible by eliminating the time-travel temptation. Remember that John tries to tempt him with all the glories of the universe, and Jack insists on staying at Torchwood, like Christ rejected Satan's temptations in the desert.
Now does the Dr. have the right to determine what's good for Jack? Nah, but Jack always does that for everyone else, so it's nice to see the tables turned.
