Yeah, he is a significant villain but I meant he's not exactly essential. If he appears in S2, that's fine, if he appears in S1, that's also fine. As long as he doesn't appear too late, say season 5, then I think you're fine.

With your idea of Kingpin trying to restore his power in S5, I think Lizard should appear in S1 then and Kingpin's loss of power happens in S2.
