Friend, you ignore the fact that your precious spores and flood attack group, was contained by 12 or so ships vastly inferior to ANYTHING the forerunners had. I'm sorry, but flood arriving on a planet are not an end of the planet deal. Especially when you are talking about 40k, MASSIVELY overpowered, AT FULL STRENGTH.
Which you know, means... millions of space marines maybe? The emperer of mankind fighting there. All the eldar race.
Oh, and another detail The Tyranid forces are constantly changing and evolving at an unnatural speed. It is unlikely that all types of Tyranids have been seen by the Imperium, and still less likely that they will ever all be seen. Tyranids evolve rapidly. One infected by spores will likely cause all the others to develop immunity to it.
edit: Or they'd absorb flood DNA, and use that.
The only flood spore infections we've seen was halo wars, that's partly gameplay but also a massive cloud of spores directly swarming over a single person. Not just breathing it in.
