The goal of the 'Angels' seems to be to insure that humanity and Cylons both survive each cycle of humans make Cylons, Cylons rebel, and they try to kill each other. Each of them guided Baltar and Caprica to avert the loss of what few humans were left, and helped guide the humans to a new world where they could start the cycle again. They didn't show up until after the genocide started as that's the earliest they had to get to action. It's possible they helped make sure specific people survived the holocaust, but that's just speculation on my part.

Also, they're not from the future, they're from the distant past. They're humans or Cylons from thousands of years ago from a cycle where they got far more technologically advanced than the Colonies. It's possible they're Lords of Kobol, but they could be older than that.

I don't think it's clear they actually have a physical presence. The most egregious use of force was when Angel Six picked up Baltar in S3 or S4. Pretty much all of that could be done via manipulation of the human body (ala The Matrix, only wirelessly), given sufficient advancement. Since they can appear to only one person in a room (or multiple people, if they wish), that's what I assumed was happening.

The goal of the 'Angels' seems to be to insure that humanity and Cylons both survive each cycle of:

1. Humans make Cylons
2. Cylons rebel
3. They try to kill each other.
