what is the point of this trilogy? (Gaming)

The Bungie Trilogy is about the Flood. The Human-Covenant war and Covenant Civil war are filler. There's an arc. In Halo 1, we learn about this long-dead, mysterious race and the flood. In halo 2, we realize that the Flood problem is much bigger than we had thought, and that there are more Halos. In Halo 3, with our backs against the wall, and Human extinction looming on the horizon, we are able to trick the gravemind into following us to the Ark and wipe them out.

What is the 343 trilogy doing? In Halo 4, we find out that the MC has a forerunner imprint that saves him from the composer. The didact wakes up (and if you haven't read the books, then you have no idea who he is). In fact, if you've only played the Halo games, then you would be lead to assume that Humans ARE Foreunner. Yet, here is a Forerunner that does not look human, tromping around trying to destroy humanity.

Halo 5 does not build on the Forerunners or the didact at all. What about the Chief's imprint? Does ONI even know about it or the Librarian? I had fun playing it, but it doesn't make sense. Like was stated before, everyone is out of character: Halsey, Cortana, Lasky. Roland is for Cortana at first, but then nothing happens with him later in the game.

Also, if these Guardians are so damned powerful that they can keep an entire system in check, why in the hell didn't the Forerunners build thousands of them to combat the Flood?
