It allows them to maintain a moral high-ground that is absolutely essential. Whatever happens, they did not kill anyone. That means the only enemy the civilians will end up with is DES. You won't find someone signing up for a campaign of righteous revenge against 0048 because they killed his/her father/mother/brother/whatever. By maintaing the non-lethal combat premise, 0048 helps ensure that even the people within the universe of the series will view the DES as the bad guys.

Even then they want the Idols alive so they can parade them around the capital as prisoners of war and proof they caught an illusive AKB0048 member and the mob will stone and verbally abuse her before they put her before a firing squad.
And I assume there will be an replacement in DGTO leadership who would be some sort of sinister bishounen commander who is even more morally bankrupt than the current DGTO and decides to sacrifice profit for the complete annihilation of the AEPS.
And by having a weight off her should is that now she can focus fully on working together with her trainees and not worry about how being the daughter of a death dealer is going to make people hate her. We all thought Kanata and Chieri will become bitter rivals upon that revelation but with Kanata not treating that as a problem. Chieri can focus on becoming an idol.
Ironically if Acchan was here, she would want to be like Acchan the most.
