The US victory at Midway was significant because it was the first ever major naval battle which Japan lost. That meant a lot. It also meant the loss of 4 veteran aircraft carriers.

Japan's aircraft squadrons were permanently allocated to their carriers in which they had trained and fought for almost 5 years. The US Navy, on the other hand, regularly moved squadrons from one carrier to another and even moved pilots from fighter to bomber squadrons and back again. Japan did not have the capacity or the time to train new squadrons, build new carriers and combine them into a fighting force.
