For one, Quantum particles or virtual particles do not "appear" out of nowhere. They're temporary states.
The assumption that this being is God is jist that, a reasoned assumption. No other necessary being really fits the bill so jumping inductively to this being God is a jump we logically can make.
The explanation for this being being uncaused is that it is a necessary being. The mechanism of which is that due to it's very nature, God would be uncaused.
And lastly, it's only flawed in the sense that you bring non-metaphysical arguments in a metaphysical argument to show how unlikely it would be. That doesn't really work either. Even then, the argument isn't fatally flawed.

If god is the logical conclusion from an argument, what are the arguments against a being that would not be considered a theistic god?

Good question. As for the cosmological argument, it only builds up to God, not against anything else that could be considered a necessary being or event. Problem is most discussion is done back and forth on the same arguments, but eventually someone will circumvent the discussion and look at other possabilities. Sorry if this awnser is somewhat dissapointing.
