Well, he kind of has to exist as a consequence of Kara also being on (any) Earth, I mean could they have made a continuity with only Supergirl, probably. Would they? Not really. I also call into question why does the Arrow-verse have any references to Batman if they wanted him only on the big screen! That future newspaper could have had Ted Kord's company, Kord Industries, merging with Queen Consolidated in the future, which would have implied a character that I'm sure the CW could use with almost no problems, but they didn't so I guess "Gotham" is canon to the Arrow-verse, then. No, Gotham can't be canon as there are two versions of many different characters like Ra's.

Also Ted Kord is locked down by DC too. All these references are just that. References.
