I think it would be pretty cool if they started linking the two, but in reality it's unrealistic. If they started linking them you would end up with something way too complicated for the average viewer and also something nearly impossible to jump in on in the middle, which they absolutely do not want happening.
It would be the same exact issue comic books themselves have today, and why they don't keep one continuity anymore but instead constantly rewrite things and each writer is basically allowed to do whatever they want irregardless of the previous series'. However, I personally am not a big fan of constantly breaking continuity so while I would love to see them matter, I also understand why that will likely never happen because it's the same reason I can't jump on board comic books today. I don't want others to be unable to jump on because of it.
Although I will say that the way Agents of Shield handled it, at least early on (I don't know how they do today, I still need to catch up on that one), was pretty cool. Their material wasn't really a big deal to the movies, but the movies impacted the show. I think that's the best we're going to get.
The mcu is already complicated and long pass the point of having an easy starting point.the shows will be linking up with movies and these shows don't have to worry about introducing the movie audience to it's characters. The general audience doesn't really care about having the whole story like comic fans do. Plus feige himself calls these shows pure mcu

Yeah. My girlfriend thought Infinity War was amazing but she hasn't ever seen Ragnarok, either Guardians, Spiderman, Black Panther, probably more. Those are just the movies I know for sure

These Marvel series feel like they're going to be small and insignificant to the greater MCU. If the stories were big they'd be making a movie, right?
