Yes, the use of calculators has caused some skills to not be learned as well as people used to learn them in the past.
While it is true that you still have to understand complex concepts and procedures before you can apply the calculator to the problem, and that calculators will not easily help you calculate multivariate calculus, some people are not able to do simple addition, subtraction, division or multiplication using larger numbers by hand. You see this when people struggle to calculate the tip on the check when they go out to dinner.

No, calculators haven't eliminated the need to learn skills required to perform mathematical problems because you won't always have a scientific/graphing calculator with you for what you need. A lot of the things that are taught are things that you need to be able to say off the top of your head to understand other things around you. Calculators are there to help you or memorize certain functions that you need to know in your life. People may be calculator dependant, but they still need to be taught it in order to understand things. Who carries around a graphing calculator besides high school/college students if that?

No because you still need the mathematical skills of being able to add, subtract, multiply, divide and work fractions and working in scientific notation without a calculator to understand Mathematics to start with.

No you still need to know the procedure to be able to work the math problem. The calculator allows you to focus more on that process instead of the memorization of facts.

No -- even if you have a calculator, you have to understand the problem before you can use it to find a solution.
Besides, I'll bet I can solve multiple-variable equations in my head much faster than you can on a calculator ;-)
