Because they sound strange in German, non military and a

Every army has own military ranks. SS has them too. From Schuetze to Reichsfuehrer.

Again, in this context Standarte doesn't mean flag. It mean regiment - large group of soldiers

Compare:
Rottenfuehrer - leader of the team (Rotte)
Sturmbannfuehrer - leader of the battalion (Sturm)
Standartenfuehrer - leader of the regiment (Standarte)
