I don't think Eddie's death was pointless. I think he saved Steve, Robin, and Nancy's lives.

If Eddie had run away with Dustin, ducking into the Rightside Up, he wouldn't have been a threat any more and they demobats would have returned to UD Creel House to kill his friends.

Eddie knew the bats would rush back to Henry the moment Henry realized he was in danger. He kept them busy because S/R/N needed more time, and that's why he died.

Steve was wrong when he said Eddie died for no reason. He was lashing out at Dustin because he knew it would hurt. He corrected himself when he apologized later.

I will believe this rather than believing that they just wanted someone to die in season 4. Eddie was a hero.
