What would be the point by then? Millions were already dead. Adding a dead Ozymandias wouldn't change that fact. The Soviets were already taking steps back to analyse the situation. Keeping Ozymandias alive allows him to attempt to cover up the flaws in his plan, as they come up. Killing him would just result in no gains, once the Soviets and Allies realized that there were no more forthcoming attacks from space monsters, and they'd be back to square one, without a Dr. Manhattan, who would have fucked off far away in space and could no longer be bothered to help humanity.
I agree with the sex scene being out of place, though. Showing them cuddling or something would have been enough to set the scene, and confirm to Manhattan that Laurie had moved on. Were it me, I strongly doubt that I'd have been in the mood for anything more.
You want to know what the point to executing a criminal is? To prevent him from doing wrong in the future. If he's so truly virtues, he will allow himself to be martyred, and wont fear death. He killed millions, this is responsibility that he should be willing to bear. The very fact that he is running for his life in a panic at the end, speaks of his bad intent. If it's a choice between Rorschach and Ozymandias, the guilty should die. You should have been able to figure this out yourself. This is ethics 101.
