Yeast flavor will mostly be gone when the mead is clear. You probably drank a few hundred billion cells in suspension depending on how much has dropped out/ is left in suspension.

Fermentation flavor, not sure what you mean. If it's that hot alcohol / boozy taste it will age out after 6-12 months (for the most part).

Long story short---> "Hurry up and wait"

Cold crashing mead really speeds up the process of drinkability once your FG is good.

I'd be hesitant to rack it that quick. You still want to give it a chance to clean up. yeast in suspension usually means it's working. Clarity is the key to a clean tasting mead.
