I'm positive pinwheel is supposed to be a beginning game boss. Most likely sometime befofore the depths, but definitely before Anor Londo. He only gives 6000 souls and is too easy for mid-game, especially since the gargoyles give 10000 souls. It makes more sense, since the catacombs are accessible in the beginning of the game. I think that if NG players went towards the Tomb of the Giants afterwards, they would pretty much retreat because of the pitch black darkness and tough enemies. That's why there is a path back to the catacombs right outside of pinwheels coffin. They would then see later in the game that they have to go back for the Lord Soul shard and return more experienced and find the fire blacksmith since it's also a shortcut, to reach the Tomb of the Giants.
