One talk show tried to argue his existence, one. The others mostly made fun of the idea, and said it was just an excuse for someone committing crimes.

And about the inconsistencies in logic and believing, people do that in real life too. Even though we've made countless discoveries in space and around the world that would've been dismissed as myth, a lot of people deny things such as Alien Life or Bigfoot, etc (not trying to imply these things are 100% real as we know them, but still).

It's also been implied that a lot of people make stuff up about superpowered people after The Avengers to try and gain publicity, so S.H.I.E.L.D. can't just look into every single solitary claim without some proof of their existence, which they had absolutely none for Kilgrave.
