This same God, the giver of the knowledge of Gita, (in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Adhyay 7 Shlok 12 to 15) is saying that the knowledge of those who worship the three gunas (Rajgun-Brahma, Satgun-Vishnu and Tamgun-Shiv) has been stolen away; they do not even do my worship, which is above these.
Those who do worship upto the three gods (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv), they, equipped with demoniac nature, the lowest among men, the evil-doers, fools, do not even worship me, Brahm, who is above these three.
God, the giver of the knowledge of Shrimad bhagwat Gita, in Adhyay 7 Shlok 18, has even called his bhakti as Anuttam (inferior/ bad).
Therefore, in Adhyay 15 Shlok 4 and Adhyay 18 Shlok 62 and 66 has said to go in the refuge of some other Supreme God.
When the knowledge of Gita Ji was being said, prior to that, neither were the eighteen Purans present, nor were the eleven Upnishads or the six Shastras (sacred texts). These books have been composed later by the Rishis based on their experiences. At that time, the four Holy Vedas were the only certified scriptures, and the summary of those four Holy Vedas is mentioned in Holy Gita Ji.
According to the Srimad Bhagavad Gita (Adhyay 7 Shlok 12-15), worshiping the three gods representing Rajgun, Satgun, and Tamgun (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv) is criticized, and true worship is said to be beyond these deities.
The Srimad Bhagavad Gita (Adhyay 7 Shlok 15) describes those who worship the three gods as having demoniac nature, being the lowest among men, evil-doers, and fools. It suggests that they do not even worship the Brahm, who is above these deities. (but is not supreme God).
In Adhyay 7 Shlok 18, the knowledge giver of Srimad Bhagavad Gita refers to its own worship as Anuttam, meaning inferior or not the best. This implies that the worship advocated in the Gita is less optimal compared to a higher form of devotion of Supreme God mentioned in Adhyay 18 Shlok 62.
In Srimad Bhagavad Gita Adhyay 15 Shlok 4 and Adhyay 18 Shlok 62 and 66, the knowledge giver of Gita advises seeking refuge in some other Supreme God, indicating a higher and more superior form of worship beyond the three gods mentioned (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv) which will provide supreme peace and immortal abode.
No, at the time of the Gita's revelation, neither the eighteen Purans, eleven Upnishads, nor the six Shastras were present. These texts were composed later by sages based on their experiences.
The four Holy Vedas were the only certified scriptures during the time of the Gita's revelation. The Gita itself is a summary of the knowledge present in these Vedas.

Almighty KavirDev is only worshipable according to evidence mentioned in all holy scriptures. Gita Chapter 15:4, 18:62 also certifies the same.

Do seekers gain spiritual benefits with the worship of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva?
Satlok Ashram
Pious Gita Chapter 7:12 tells that worship of Trinity Gods is futile. One should Worship Supreme God only told in Gita Chapter 15:4, 18:62 and 66
