Good plan.
I agree with all this, but I think he meant in Sony's cinematic universe. I got the feeling he was saying that SR is canon and they ****ed up. But you notice some things he said like Black Goblin and such. I mean he must know that it is either Green Goblin or in Ultimates case, Hobgoblin for Harry; not Black Goblin. And like you said about MJ and organic Web.
I think Fine was going with the direction of trying to keep it a prequel/reboot trilogy that exists in a timeframe before the Raimi films...and not a TRUE prequel. I believe he thought it would be better to keep Parker IN high school during the duration of the trilogy, like when he expresses his disappointment that the movie script starts with Peter's High School graduation. This is very similar to Raimi's "Spider-man", in which Peter also graduates and then enters college all within the same first movie. Fine says "I was under the impression that one major reason for the reboot was to be able to put Peter back in High School because we can tell better stories in that environment."
His wording about "denying" the original Raimi trilogy is a little convoluted and confusing...given the way Sony went with it and was approaching even the Amazing Spider-man movie. But I think the point he was trying to make was not to treat the audience as stupid and give them strong reasons for buying into the new versions of the characters in the "Amazing" reboot. Like how he mentions Mary Jane, the love of Peter's life, just popping up at the high school graduation (I guess this was part of the Shalene Woodley/MJ scenes that were cut) and Harry Osborn also just popping up after being at Boarding school. Major supporting characters that the audience should connect with but might have a hard time buying into because they just "show up" and carry the character name. I think he was also dismayed in how Harry just shows up and becomes Green Goblin in one movie, while it was a gradual build-up in the Raimi trilogy and carried weight behind it.
Split him back to Marvel.
Cameo at the end of Civil War.
Phase 3, still make Sinister Six but new canon. His villains come after him because they know who he is as a result of Civil War. Hasn't been done yet either.
Then put him in Infinity Wars with the Avengers.
I'm just tired of Spiderman's love interest angle
This franchise needs to focus on Peter Parker as spider-man and less of Peter parker, the cryptic lover.

They actually tone down his love life compared to how it was in the comics.
Except, apparently, we'll be seeing the Batman origin story once again in Batman V. Superman!Perhaps Spider-man should NOW be treated like Batman is in the DC Cinematic Universe.
Everyone KNOWS Batman, they KNOW his origin story, they KNOW his main villains. There is no need to constantly rehash the Batman origin story.
At this point Marvel could treat Spidey with James Bond rules. Pierce Brosnan was replaced with Daniel Craig but the kept Judi Dench - even though they rebooted the continuity. Even thought the Bosnan film don't connect to the Craig films.
Just move Spidey over to Marvel Studios and let the audience fill in the blanks as they will. Comic readers do this all the time. New teams take over titles and make small recons to suit their stories. No more origin do-overs.
Doing some reading there are recent rumors that the character Spider-Gwen is of great interest to Sony. Emma Stone is a bigger name than Garfield and they want to keep her.
