However, the population of giants were greatly reduced after the great flood in God's attempt to wipe them out.
I would like to point out this statement. God's attempt to wipe them out. If he is omniscient, didn't he know that he wouldn't succeed in killing them all?
Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
6:2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
6:3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."
6:4 The Nephilim were in the land in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the land, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man in the land, and He was grieved in His heart.
6:7 And the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
Zaiger 1:3
The Gray alien gave birth to Godzilla and Michael the arc angel.

I'm not sure they could have generations. The Book of Enoch mentions them becoming infertile.
Heracles' Children
Telephus is the son of Heracles and Auge. Hyllus is the son of Heracles and Deianeira or Melite. The sons of Heracles and Hebe are Alexiares and Anicetus. There is also, in some versions, reference to an episode where Heracles met and impregnated a half-serpentine woman, known as Echidna; her children, known as the Dracontidae, were the ancestors of the House of Cadmus.
Numbers 13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The purpose of the flood was to wipe out the Nephilim blood line.
"in those days; and also after that",
The other cultural implication is the idea that only Cain and Abel are mentioned in the myth.
These are then, by the culture of the time, the kingly blood lines.
Abel's blood line leads to King David.

I am just speculating on the fact the flood was an attempt to wipe out the giants. However, maybe God's goal was to be vengeful to spite the giants as to wipe just most of the giants out to give the humans a fair chance to kill them off.
When your son gets in a fight, you dont interfere, you let him handle his own and fight his own battles, if the fight is unfair, you even the odds.
Just my opinion...

Speaking of Cain, did you realize that he is described as the founder of the first civilization, the city state of Enoch in the land of Nod?
Think about this, the Bnai Elohim likely came down to the cities to the urban descendants of Cain.
ENOCH CHAPTER VIII.
1. And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.
2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.
Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings,
Armârôs the resolving of enchantments,
Barâqîjâl,(taught) astrology,
Kôkabêl the constellations,
Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds,
Araqiêl the signs of the earth,
Shamsiêl the signs of the sun〉,
and Sariêl the course of the moon.
And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .
The pastoral nomadic descendants of Seth, that Noah descends from, was likely not the objective of the Bnai Elohim.
Instead the first Nephilim, should come from the line of Cain.
