Right, there was no need to kill her because nothing she did when she came back hinged upon her being dead. And they never bothered to explain where she went for those two months/six hours. All she needed was a new viper and a memory of a song apparently.
For me, Execution was just shoddy all thru S4/4.5. Bad storytelling choices all the way through. No forward momentum, info dumps when they finally had to get things rolling, inexplicable happenings (like why her dad would know a cylon song), I could go on and on.
Hmm, I don't think the Daybreak 2 flashbacks really seem like Lee seen through Kara's eyes so much, not in the same way anyway? Or maybe it is just that they were so infrequent/inconsistent that I can't see any pattern there. I do think that by literally placing Kara's story in Lee's hands at the end, for him to be the one that says out loud "you will not be forgotten" they give him some ownership in a way of Kara's story. It certainly sort of sets him up as a narrator of her story going forward even if it wasn't there previously. (Also I thought it was really the lamest of the lame. The biggest most obvious understatement. OF COURSE, Lee won't forget Kara. How could he possibly? She was the love of his life. So it was kind of like "Uh, thanks for that concession, show. Yeah, now I feel better knowing he won't forget her, because I was really worried that would happen." Meh. Not enough for me.
