Merging Flickr accounts can be beneficial in certain situations, depending on your needs and circumstances. Here are some common reasons why you consider merging Flickr accounts:
From Flickr's official website, you can't merge Flickr accounts or transfer photos from one Flickr account to another one. The only thing you can do is download photos and videos from one Flickr account to your computer and then upload them to another Flickr account manually.
