The mods, and the community.

Flagging is for when you think it doesn't belong. I agree with you that simply disagreeing with a post or comment isn't a reason to flag it, but when you think something is inappropriate for the site then you have a reason to flag it. Otherwise it becomes a complete free-for-all, with no focus, and experience tells us that that's a bad thing.
And you can't downvote a submission.
