That's my problem: they are actually trying to put some foreshadowing for the loop system, but weirdly enough they introduce the current storyline as an "aftermath" of everything, which doesn't make any sense in term of character and story progression.

It is actually good to see that they planned at least 1 thing, but that's not really enough if you ask me, and it brings to the question why Kyousuke pulls several times the same routes on Riki and Rin (hell, even the game outright denies you the possibility of reading again the route you have finished until you are done with refrain).
I'm just as stumped on that scene as you are.

Maybe it's best to not think of that scene as a series of flashbacks of previous loops, but a cheap foreshadowing of what will happen, similar to how some anime start with flash forwards and show how they got there. That's the only way I can rationalize it at this point.
