1. a daemon is made up from the stuff of the warp, not any genetic material, and since a daemon can control his form at will, infecting it cannot work. 2. even if you take a biological body, posessed by a daemon, said daemon can shape the body at will, meaning you cannot infect them. the only thing that works, is destroying the orporeal form and banishing them, but destroying them won#t work. They are principles, thought and emotions made manifest. how would the flood assimilate somehting that does not happen on an elemental level, or a genetic level? 3. in case you did not notice it, Kha'Bandha was merely banished by sanguinius, but once back in the warp suffered no ill effects of the fight, he is still alive and kickng and unaffected by any blows that sanguinius dealt so long ago.

As for Aetherius, aka the realm of pure magica, being a different dimension from the physical plane of existence,  where the souls go after death (see magic from the sky in skyrim and oblivion and the light and the dark in daggerfall) It is quite funny when you look at the definitions of "the warp" in 40k, as it fits those properties like a glove. You are aware, that psykers in 40k channel warp energies/tap into the warp to do their psyker stuff, controlling those energies with their willpower and proecting them or, if they take too much, get nom'd by them.

"nothing he did there would affect the world around them" ... weird that ahriman brought back a relic that was needed..... hmmm...
