2000 Honda Accord Transmission

Hi,
I changed the transmission oil of my honda Accord 2000 SE 2 days ago. The old oil was all dark.
I put in the new Honda ATF oil (dark red in color). Took the car out for a drive and felt so good. The transmission shift was very good compared to before the oil change.
Two days later I see that the oil is getting dark again and shift is not that as smooth as soon after changing the fluid.
The car took on 2.2 - 2.4 litres of fluid.
Someone tells me that I need a transmission flush in order to get ALL the old oil out because the car holds more than 2.3 litres (like more than 10 litres) and the old oil contaminated the new oil. Is it true that there is more oil inside the transmission than we replace e.g. the torque converter holds fluid as well? Do I need a transmission flush? Can I frequently change trans fluid to replace the old oil? When I replaced the fluid my level was just above the max mark, is this a matter of concern?
