I think Moriarty is a super overused villain too.

See, it's not about whether they appear or not, it's about how they appear. Is Moriarty awesome? Oh yes. Is he very important? Oh yes. Is he a character who is constantly coming face to face with Holmes and behind every single crime, to the detriment of all other clients and cases? Nope.

Same with Irene. Is she awesome? Fuck yes. Is she very important? Fuck yes. Does she interact with Holmes over a long period of time or have any association with him? Nope.

See, that's the problem with Irene and Moriarty in adaptations. Not their appearing, but the way their relationship with Holmes is portrayed.

I think it's the need to create a narrative arc in a series of loosely connected stories that lack internal consistency. To make a movie or a short TV series you need some overarching story, and a Big Bad and a femme fatale/love interest fit the bill.

Why not come up with an original plot to serve as the arc between episodes, though?
