In the game/anime, you get the feeling of despair at that moment where Kurisu and Okabe thinks that they would never meet again, which is a perfectly good reason itself for Kurisu to go back to try to tell Okabe how she really feels because that would be her last chance. Also the conversations between Okabe and Kurisu in the game we know for a fact that Kurisu herself doesn't believe the multi-verse explanation because there was no evidence for it and that it was just her "crazy idea" (literally "妄想" in the game), and Kurisu isn't a person that believes in things without evidence. So from those we are supposed to feel that Kurisu was merely making up comforting words to lessens the guilt that Okabe feels as to convince him to go back to Beta line and save Mayuri. For her to suddenly feel hopeful that she would meet Okabe in another timeline/world line because of that little bit of back story between her father and Feyrius father as written in the drama just clashes with everything we've had up to that point in time in the story about the characters and what they were discussing previously.
Oh and don't get me started on how they try to white-wash Kurisu's father in the drama too.
Yes, the usual rational Kurisu would be like that but...

She's in love with Okabe so who cares about evidence. Feelings first. Just that tiny little spark is enough to light up any hope XD
I agree it would have broken up the atmosphere though.
