A transition from what to what?

Why not?

If there is we'd have to wait for the light from it to get to us, by which time the CMB will have receded further and it would then be in front of the CMB.

A transition from plasma to the cold mater in the form of galaxies we see.

> Why not?

As you see, there are big clusters everywhere. It means that some regions were cooler from the start, to form these cluster in so short period of time. It means that regions around them were hotter, thus they should emit light longer.

300My is a short period of time. Why they cannot sometimes overlap?
