Change below code :

// Collect Rates and Set Shipping & Payment Method
$shippingAddress->setCollectShippingRates(true)
    ->collectShippingRates()
    ->setShippingMethod('flatrate_flatrate')
    ->setPaymentMethod('checkmo');

// Set Sales Order Payment
//$quote->getPayment()->importData(array('method' => 'checkmo'));
$quote->setShippingMethod('flatrate_flatrate');

to:

// Collect Rates and Set Shipping & Payment Method
$shippingAddress->setCollectShippingRates(true)
    ->collectShippingRates()
    ->setShippingMethod('flatrate_flatrate') 
    ->setPaymentMethod('checkmo');

// Set Sales Order Payment
$quote->getPayment()->importData(array('method' => 'checkmo'));
//$quote->setShippingMethod('flatrate_flatrate');

In above code you using shipping method flat rate, Make sure flat rate is enable.

setShippingMethod('flatrate_flatrate') 

same for payment method using below code you use check money order, make sure it is enable

->setPaymentMethod('checkmo');
