 * judging from what happened in the Hashirama flashbacks, the Senju likely got absorbed into the village and so "died out" through marriage. Being the strongest shinobi within the village the World Wars might've helped too, with the Senju on the frontlines.
 * Pure chakra seems to be very powerful (that is, straight from the Chakra Fruit) and going from there, increasingly dilute chakra seems to yield increasingly weaker ninja. The strongest ninja clans are those with the least dilute chakra (e.g. Senju and Uchiha) and the weakest possess chakra as given by Hagoromo. This is further emphasized by Hyuga since they use a main/branch construct to maintain their chakra purity.
 * The Senju's power thus likely died out because their high-purity chakra was quickly diluted beyond recognition.

See, this is full of contradictions. Let's stick with your definitions of pure chakra and acquired chakra, with pure chakra belonging to the Ootsutsukis and acquired chakra belonging to everyone else. Ashura and Indra's chakra is about the purest anyone can still get, and it transmigrates into someone every generation (except the period where Madara was being a selfish prick that refused to die). And according to you these transmigrants can pass on their pure chakra to their descendants.

So how the hell would the Ootsutsuki-descending clan's chakra get diluted if they were receiving a free influx of (almost)-straight-from-the-source pure chakra every generation for the past thousand years? By now there's be hundreds if not thousands of people running around with half-transmigrant power. Especially a clan as insular as the Hyuga, who *already* intermarry. By that logic everyone in the clan should be the second coming of Hamura.

And if straight Ootsutsuki pure chakra can get diluted, passed on to descendants, etc etc, then how do transmigrants like Naruto and Sasuke get full-powered chakra after a thousand years of distribution? If Hashirama passed, say, a quarter of his transmigrant chakra to his children, then where did Naruto get the full thing from? Yes, at this point you're going to say something like "chakra can be regenerated", but if pure chakra can replenish itself, then how does it get diluted in the first place?

The way I see it, transmigrant chakra works exactly like bijuu chakra, which is also pure chakra (from the Shinju plus Kaguya). Sure the tailed beasts are "just chakra", but I doubt anyone here would tell me that Naruto's kids have Kurama's chakra and can sense negative emotions, etc. just because he's the jinchuuriki. It's not a part of Naruto (alone). It's not his to "pass on".
