Look at it this way:
The Flood is probably the most integral and important element within Halo.
If the Flood didn't show up/wasn't created, Forerunners wouldn't have build the Halos.
If the Flood didn't exist, Humanity would have been f-d big time during the UNSC-Covenant War.
If the Flood didn't exist, Forerunners wouldn't have build the Ark, Apex and Shield Worlds.
If Graveminds weren't around, Forerunners would have probably stood a better chance (as the Gravemind-Medicant Bias combo proved to be pretty damn tough).
If the Forerunners didn't "go extinct" due to their anti-Flood policy, the Covenant might not have even existed.
Basically every line within Halo can be traced back to the Flood. All of the conflicts, all of the iconic Forerunner technology, the Covenant, everything all goes back to the Flood.
They should be in the game. Even more so than the Covenant for instance.
