The first boss-based mythic system launched in Chapter 2 Season 2 (February 2020) with weapons like Midas' Drum Gun. The Mythic Goldfish was technically earlier (Chapter 1 Season 10, October 2019) but was a fishing item rather than a weapon.
When did Fortnite Reload start?

Which season had the best loot pool?
This is subjective and depends on what you value. For rare loot hunters, Chapter 2 Season 2 introduced the mythic system, Chapter 4 Season 2 added the Heisted weapons, and Chapter 4 Season OG brought back classic weapons. Reload has maintained the best ongoing mythic pool since its launch.
