Changing the character dynamic was needed. In fact it was inevitable. Caitlin eventually had to be Killer Frost. Same with Cisco becoming Vibe. He has to have something motivating him to put on the suit. His brother's death did it. So no, Flashpoint wasn't a waste, it added numerous character growth that was needed in the show. This season was the dark moments for the Flash.
