I really hope that Jeffery Mace or Coulson, or someone from AOS keeps the title of Director of SHIELD so that when SHIELD shows up in Infinity War we'd at least have that character.

As for the mention in Civil War, I read somewhere that the writers of Civil War had stopped watching Agents of SHIELD because they were working on the movie, so they didn't know about the spread of the Terrigen in the water.

So fans can think of it as a reference to the TV side, but in reality it wasn't done with the knowledge that there were even more enhanced individuals by that point.
