That might have to do with the adaptation to the new engine, but the fact is that yes, there were HD models for all Pokémon in S/M. The only thing that isn't HD are the textures, as you can see here.

That's definitely an improvement over Sun and Moon, but unless I'm mistaken that's just an up-rezzed version of the Sun and Moon models. I could see them wanting even higher quality models than that for the Switch game, they might want to compete with the likes of Mario Odyssey and Zelda BOTW graphically. I definitely won't be surprised if the recent rumors of Pokemon Switch being a gen 1 remake turn out to be true.  

That's a render using different lighting and stuff, but the models and textures are from the 3DS, and the models look amazing on an HD screen.

I doubt that they will remake the models. I mean, some Pokémon in S/M have up to 13k polygons, while Mario in Mario Odyssey also has 13k. I think they'd rather put more effects and animation than make unnecessary more high-poly models.
