There was no new colour to the Ultear vs Gray fight if they continued anyway. Ultear would still have the upper hand, and keep sending the ice to the future. Nothing more than replaying the beginning fight scene over and over again, tbh.
The flashback was effective, I don't like too many flashbacks myself, but it's use got the general idea of why she hated Ul, and what actually happened. I mean, through less than half episode of flashback we were able to see how Ultear's darkness began to grow and develop.
