Did Trump wish to avoid yet another embarrassment to his administration and to himself, personally? Not a shining example of leadership skills. It should be also noted that while Obama did have Flynn in his administration, he also did not hesitate to fire Flynn from the DIA Directorship when Flynn flaked and Obama took heat for what was probably the right action. And your statement Flynn "was Obama's man when the alleged impropriety took place" is highly suspect if only for the fact Obama fired Flynn in 2014 and the "impropriety" occurred in 2016 making your claim a broad bit of a reach...
So, with all of Flynn's flaw's you note in your post, including his being "Obama's man", Trump made a 'genius' decision and appointed Flynn to the extremely sensitive post of National Security Advisor; he even made the following glowing praise in his official statement about Flynn's appointment:
Yeah, Trump really showed his ability to judge character and to thoroughly vet those with whom he would work most closely and personally. If Trump was stupid enough to appoint someone you yourself disparage for being "Obama's man", just how much can we trust any of his other decisions? You can try to deflect and distract by trying to lay some questionable blame on Obama, but this particular buffoonish boondoggle rests at the feet of Trump and Trump alone...

Remember in the bible when the big storm came up on the Med when Jonah was trying to run away from God's orders to go to Nineveh and the fisherman threw Jonah overboard to save the boat?
I think that's what happen
but in this case the storm is not over yet and more fishermen might be thrown in
