Correcting the problem of not having chapters begin at the top of a page with lots of chapters is really tedious. I've done it. I now use a counter-intuitive trick that might be applied to your situation.
1) select all the files in the file browser that contain chapter content
2) right-click and select "merge selected text files"
3) after merging, right-click in that new file and follow the "split at multiple locations" wizard as theducks advised.

If I have understood your problem correctly, this will save a heap of work and all the chapters in your reader will begin where you expect them to begin.
You don't even need to do the initial join.
After the bulk split, check for orphans in the file browser. they will not have the additions to their file name (and they won't USUALLY be the first files if you started with more because the used the old keep it under 260K rule of thumb). You should only have a few of these to fix, even when doing a BIG book
