Grand plan or not, no one likes to see their villain go down so easily.

To your point and to that of general knowledge, RF beat the shit out of Flash and was about to kill him in the Finale. One sided fight.

More on that, Flash's plan was to come back and stop Eobard from escaping... which would have failed exponentially had not Eddie offed himself.
