It would have been pointless to try and retcon the events of the original film to incorporate the Guardian Monsters somehow. It's easier to just keep the original film's story as it is and incorporate the Guardian Monsters into the new film's plot. Well, I could see that making sense in the real world, but not so much in the world of Godzilla. (The GMK world to be exact.) Yet that is the only reason why. Sorry. They changed the number of victims (Tachibana's parents were added to the body count) so why not change the storyline?
