Yah, I agree with your thought process on this and think if you are going to raise the best street is the flop as your raise will not look like a made flush by most people. Many people will peel on the flop and fold the turn so I like to pop it there.

I don't think the slowplay is bad though and I call everytime on the river if raised. I'd need a super read not to.

Pre-flop your call is obviously correct and it isn't close (as you assuredly know, I'm just reinforcing your statement).
