I’d like to know from where in the Constitution did a previous Congress derive the authority to create a fully independent agency that is beyond the supervision of the branch of government which exists to administrate and to supervise.

I think since a past president signed off on it, how can his agreement to delegate of presidential powers to a bunch of bankers constrain future presidents from exercising them?

Agree. A former Congress cannot legislate away constitutional authorities of future Congresses and presidents. It it could, Trump and the current Congress could legislate away the authority to tax private Americans and American businesses.
