So with a few strings pulled, he managed to get the bug into Wild Wild West. So in case anyone wondered why there was a giant spider in Wild Wild West despite there never being any in the TV show, now you know.

Not quite, it was the producer of Superman that wanted the giant spider not Tim Burton, and he also wanted Superman to fight a Polar Bear. This was the same guy who produced Wild Wild West, and Kevin Smith was amused that he got the giant spider finally.
Tim Burton had nothing to do with Wild Wild West, why would he give a shit if there was a mechanical spider in it?
Tim Burton wanted Superman to wear a weird mechanical outfit, but that's all I know.

Also, he didn't refuse to see Kevin Smith's movies, he heard that Planet of the Apes comment and said he wouldn't read his script for Superman and that he'd never read any of his comics (and made a snide remark I can't recall).
