A few things I noticed while reading this thread.
1: Where could the A.I's be hiding? Well, anywhere....we didn't know of the Portal under New Mombassa, and that is a massive megastructure. The lore also states that the Portal has a massive complex under it, and we can't yet get in.
If we missed that, they could literally be anywhere. Or in slipspace, using it as an infinite datachip. Like Halsey theoried.
2. Who is that human with the datapads? The last datapads make it very clear its an A.I. who imprinted itself over the consciousness of a living being. Reversing the path. So its a member of either the Minority or Majority given human form. It's very clear on this.
As to why he is doing what he/she is doing, its because he wants someone, anyone, to know. It's not related to Cortana in any way, shape, or form.
3. Why wouldn't they know about the Flood? Well, who says they don't, honestly. The same reason they withheld information on the Covenant approaching/existing, the same way they withhold information on weapon systems they can reproduce (becoming wolves themselves) and planets of importance, the same reason they manipulated the war and fed the Covenant entire human wars.....because we, in their opinion, aren't ready for the full story and need to be babysat, fed peacemeal.
The Flood were a peaceful, advanced sentient "Hive-mind" species before they were enslaved by the Forerunner.
Entirely untrue, nor hinted at in any medium. Don't pass off fanfiction as fact. The Flood spores arrived in ancient human territory on ancient (to those humans) automated ships. It was dormant, and made their pets smarter when treated with it.
Eventually those pets mutated, went feral. Then their owners did. Humanity had beaten and kicked the Flood out of our galaxy before the conclusion of the Human-Forerunner war, and the Forerunner didn't believe them as they found no evidence.
Your theory is entirely, entirely wrong. The only thing they hint at is the Captive, who claims to be the last Precursor, is using the Flood as his answer to the Forerunner destroying the Precursors ages ago.
