So is the clarity of the water and high exchange rate from the creek more of a negative on the overall health of the pond or is it just a limiting factor as to what I can do with it?
I'm on a steep learning curve here.

I'll let the experts chime in, but I think it has to do with pH changes if I remember correctly. If fish get accustomed to a certain pH, and your creek floods, causing a drastic water turnover in your pond, some fish might be well-suited for those conditions over other fish. Drastic temperature changes might also be a factor.
