The main issue with IQ is that it's a sliding scale. Someone with an IQ score of 100 today is typically "more intelligent" than someone with an IQ score back in 1914.

I've also known people with doctorate degrees, but couldn't reason themselves out of a hole in the ground. They might be considered intelligent by many, but I wouldn't call them smart.
Not an issue at all.
IQ is a standardized score system. We know the delta from year to year so it's just some extra math required and we can compare IQ scores over time.
It's similar to how we can adjust for inflation if we want to compare amount of money over time.
