Differential Had Water

So I just changed differential fluids, and when i did, color was a very off-white cream which probably meant water ingress in the past when i drove through some floodwater.

In hindsight i forgot that maybe I should have flushed it first with extra fluid but I forgot to.

So i just have two concerns:

Will not flushing again basically contaminate my new diff oil and harm my differential?

And i noticed my diff drain plug surface area was covered completely in metal powder. Ive been driving like this for about 7,000 miles. Was this a sign of significant damage?
