i think the idea is that gandalf wanted to make it somewhat explainable... like a magic trick, you may not know how it was achieved, but you know it wasn't supernatural... the flash allowed for a quick escape as an explanation... if bilbo had just vanished, it would have been harder for the audience to come up with a rationalization and the disappearence might have even had more staying power than it already did
