By that same logic, if you're not going to even really address the existing canon in any significant way, why NOT just reboot? Especially since LoS is essentially an "origin story" for the entire franchise.
It was probably just simpler to reboot and start everything over from scratch, rather than worry that some fanatics would be all like, "Well, ACTUALLY (adjusts glasses), this Dracula 'origin' story contradicts much of the storyline in the acclaimed GBA Castlevania game 'Orchestra of Dracula's Ballsack: Rondo of Whale Semen', which explains where the saga REALLY started! CLEARLY these people know nothing at all about Castlevania and this game is therefore garbage!"
There's always a FEW of Those People and I assume Konami didn't want to be bothered with all of that.
