Disney never attempted to do this.

The shows got canceled because the contracts weren't renewed because fiege moved Ike perlmutter out of the room. They just ended with little fanfare, Disney nor anyone else came out and said "don't watch these they don't matter".
As soon as legally possible they put all the stuff back on streaming on their own platform D plus, this was before NWH even came out. How in any way were they distancing themselves?

If you consider that Hawkeye probably started development in 2019, thats a mere like 2.5 years between the final Netflix season airing and then making plans to reintroduce Netflix characters.

It might have been for legal reasons, but that's a dark period where they were not being touted as canon. It's water under the bridge now, but it isn't as if they were claiming them while they were in limbo.
