what is the point of this trilogy? (Gaming)

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?

I think it's because they're weapons of terror, not necessarily effective strategic weapons. They can nuke a whole city or continent or whatever, which is terrifying, and a huge threat to a sentient species. But unless they can destroy every single spore, they'd be basically useless against the Flood.
