If photons are travelling with speed of light, it means that time is stopped for photons and there is no any distance in the Universe for them. So, does it mean that photons do not exist? From the point of view of a photon, it is destroyed at the same moment when it was born and at the same place.

Does it mean that photons are just lines in time - from a source to the destination when it was absorbed?

The question is not a physical one and not even a philosophical one: photon does not have a point of view - rather it is us who may want to attribute it a point of view or imagine what it would feel like to see the Universe from the point of view of a photon.

It is an interesting subject to ponder... but it cannot have a definite answer.

Googling however gives interesting results:
A photon’s point of view
Ask Ethan: How Does A Photon Experience The Universe?
From a photons’ point of view, is its speed infinite, since it travels instantly from its beginning to end?.
