You lose varying amounts of legend points depending on the difficulty level on which you are playing. On Nightmare mode you lose all of your points down to your last level up.

It's nothing, 200k isn't even close to anything good amount. I've lost millions of experience, not a big deal. Remember, the most correct and important leveling method of Legend is delivering packages, anything else is pointless. Don't deliver packages unless you have enoungh to pass the next rank, you'll be fine.

As everyone here already said, it's a matter of difficulty level and reward/risk balance.

The safest bet is on normal where you only lose 2-3k points during the day and nothing during the night. On hard, I believe it's 25% of your total(?), and on nightmare, well it's a nightmare scenario :) where you lose ALL your points, even at night.

I once lost 1.4 million points (was around level 50) just by drifting sideways with the grapple inside the stuffed turtle quarantine and falling flat on the electrified ground; didn't even get a chance to jump back :)

As BladeMaster said, the best way to level is to farm drops and deliver them in one shot to the quartermaster, in quantities sufficient to level up 1, 2 or x levels at once.
