Movies takes place after the series. Mac also says he had seen enough of those pens in his time. So he's clearly retired.
Just because someone has a dossier about you doesn't mean everyone read it and simply because there was no mention of MacGyver's workplaces in the movies doesn't mean he never worked for them. He knows his way around in the spygame and he's experienced enough to know how the game is played. It's not a plothole and Natalia is not an idiot. The KGB was a big organization that no longer existed when the movie was released so MacGyver's file may have gotten lost if there ever was one. In GX-1 MacGyver asks Starkoss what kind of dossier they had on him assuming there is one but if there was one Starkoss is a fraud yet everything pointed out Starkoss actually was a psychic.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
