Well, the red ranger coming in last is probably more because of how the Sentai footage goes than any desire from Kalish to bring red in last. In Dekaranger Ban was brought in last (I think that was DekaRed's name). In Magiranger, Kai got his powers last in the forest fight. And, in Gekiranger, Jan henshined last, and was brought into the team last. I think that Kalish is trying to make the footage make sense with the storylines by bringing red in last, or as an outsider, since a good portion of the early Sentai eps tend to revolve around the first group adapting to the inclusion of their newest member.
That, and historically, red's been brought into the team last in a good portion of PR. Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, and Wild Force. Not every one, granted, but that's nearly half of the first 10 seasons right there, and the first 5 could almost be negated, since they only occasionally changed team members, and not teams all together.
As for Flit, yes, Bae was important in Geki to Gekiviolet's storyline. Additionally, he's in so many of the shots involving the GekiTouja fights, that, unless the footage they get is before he was added in (didn't look like it was, from the Megazord fight), then they needed to include him. Otherwise, you'd have a giant fly zooming around the screen in nigh every zord battle, but no explanation for it.
