I'm willing to have Captain America be found at the very ending of Season 1, only to have him join the very first episode of Season 2. I just wanted to introduce him originally because he wasn't a part of the original team (even though by the time the Avengers were formed, Lee and Kirby were already planning on bringing back Cap.). Iron Man could be the main leader of the Avengers in Season 1, but gets replaced with Cap in Season 2 because of the stress that entails being a leader.

I see your point about the Initiative just being a way for us to expand the roster like it was in Justice League Unlimited, but Civil War is still an integral part to why The Initiative happened in the first place. At the very minimum, we could at least have an alternate universe where the Initiative caused a super-hero civil war between Cap and Iron Man.

The Avengers would disband in Season 3, New Avengers are formed in Season 4, original Avengers (plus the New Avengers.) come back together to take on Osborn and the Ultimates in Season 5.
