Look, Stephen is not the only bully in the world or even the Stotches' family, if he dies, Butters will only be exposed to other dangers, it won't change anything for the better about the kid.(maybe apart from the death of his father, and his mother)

For me, a cool ending is supposed to be having Butters grow up mentally and manage to defy his parents, therefore gaining his complete independence. (I think The New Kid kinda set up an example for that, and Butters carried out this kind of action quite perfectly as a vampire)
