They were already starting to use the transporter regularly in Enterprise at least for emergencies, and that was 100 years before this movie.
I think you're missing what I'm saying. There are a whole lot of capabilities that pretty much have to exist if you have the transporter (and it's real technology, not a magic beaming box). And except for the occasional plot device used for one episode, this is pretty much ignored in the TV shows and movies.
The transporter was originally created a plot device to reduce production costs; if I were rebooting Star Trek, I'd get rid of it, as it's not needed to reduce production costs any more.
