Hence bad karma could lead to even more bad karma, ... a negative cycle. Why the heck would you get punished for something you don't remember? That's just senseless suffering.

I have a child who had memory of a certain aspect of her past life. When she was two years and three months old, she behaved very peculiarly with me on two occasions separated by about a week. Her behavior puzzled me during the first occasion. The second time I realized that this peculiar behavior of her was similar to the behavior of another person in my life who had deceased a little less than two years before her birth. In fact it struck me that, with this peculiar, behavior she was explaining to me why the deceased person behaved a certain way with me. What all this tells me is that she was born to me because she carried the burden of her past life behavior to her/his death and she wanted to relieve herself of that burden. Once she realized that she had accomplished her goal she became a normal toddler again. I, for one, am glad that she is no more carrying the burden of her past life behavior. I don't think we will be able to carry on with our lives very well if were burdened with our umpteen past lives. I have no complaint about the system as it exists.
