Why didn't Shredder reunite with the human Foot Clan at any point?

In the original cartoon, we of course see Oroku Saki take over the human Foot clan in the first episode. The "stick 'em up" scene with the Foot attacking the kid with the icecream cone were all human.

Then in "Legend of Koji" in Season 7, we again see Shredder go back in time to 1583 where the Foot Clan was first started by Hamato Yoshi's ancestor. Saki's ancestor was there too, and he winds up losing the loyalty of his men to Hamato's new Foot Clan.

However, at no point of the series does Shredder ever reunite with the human Foot Clan of Japan and use them to attack the Turtles in the present day. I honestly feel as if its a huge missed opportunity.

Would have been a great way to bring Karai into the old toon as well, since by 1993 she existed in the comics and we could have seen her in charge of the Foot in Japan while Shredder was with Krang.
