Flatten image is a bad idea. I don't think I have ever used it. (And I seldom use merge down.)

A better way to work is to keep all your layers intact. SAVE as a .xcf. Then EXPORT as a .png. This will preserve the transparency. If you ever need to go back and edit your image open the .xcf and do your edits there. Then once again export as png.
