You are dealing with indefinite integral therefore you have to take into account that while integrating we have to add a constant of integration. To be precise we got that



beginalign*
int 2sin xcos xmathrm dx&=int 2sin xcos xmathrm dx\
int sin(2x)mathrm dx&=int left(fracmathrm dmathrm dxsin^2(x)right)mathrm dx\
-frac12cos(2x)+c_1&=sin^2(x)+c_2\
-frac12cos(2x)&=sin^2(x)+c
endalign*



To determine the constant of integration in this case we can follow your own attempt by expanding the $cos(2x)$, even though you have made a minor mistake there, term to get



beginalign*
-frac12cos(2x)&=sin^2(x)+c\
-frac12(1-2sin^2(x))&=sin^2(x)+c\
c&=-frac12
endalign*



We just proved the Half-Angle Formula since we can now conclude that




$$sin^2(x)=frac12-frac12cos(2x)=frac1-cos(2x)2$$




Which is basically all what was missing.
