The evil that enslaves them and kills them is throughout the city at every level. It founded the city, and built for its purposes. Such an evil will not be deterred merely by wiping out some of its resources. It has plenty more. Mikoto's current actions would barely even register as a mild inconvenience. To stop it you must either destroy everything it has and everywhere it is, by destroying the whole city; or you must hunt down each and every person that makes up the entirety of that evil, and kill them all.
Neither of these things are desirable for Mikoto or any of our heroines to do. But Mikoto wanted to know how to stop what was happening to the Sisters. These seem to be the most effective ways. The fact that there are numerous obstacles and that doing these things would have incredibly serious psychological effects and other consequences for anyone who did them is a different discussion entirely. She didn't ask "how hard will it be to do it" or "what will happen if I do it" or even "does anyone think it's a good idea if I do it?" Such things are beside the point.

Still won't work no matter what she does, reaching Level 6/SYSTEM is one of main reasons for Academy City's establishment, she cannot just remove one of the core goals; doing so would be tantamount to killing every single researcher/scientist in the city. What you see as evil is the scientists just seeing the Sisters as usable materials -- which is basically how every dark-side researcher sees every Esper -- , even some people with a moral compass will probably say "the ends justify the means".
Level Six Shift is the closest to achieving fruition, the parameters of the experiments given by Tree Diagram, the (former) most advanced and powerful super computer in the world, they aren't going to stop for anything.
Destroy the city? Or rather destroy the dark-side? Don't make me laugh ( oh wait, you did ), didn't you hear Mugino during her insane tirade? Misaka lacks the capability in any way, shape or form to do so, both psychologically and physically. Misaka has never killed anyone, not even Frenda when she threatened to so, what makes you think she'll start? She may be close to breaking, but she still has a moral-compass, watching/reading Index will tell you that. It's also pretty obvious why she can't stop the experiment physically: it's an organization/city-state government vs. a single person ( barring some exceptions ), even if said person has superpowers, who do you think will win?
TL;DR:
Stating that she could destroy AC to solve her problems is being both foolish and naive.
