It's almost certain that the creators had two ending scenes regarding Shinn in mind from the very beginning: the first is that of Shinn crying in Lunamaria's arms as he loses everything. The only reason for him to meet Kira when Minerva docked at Orb is to set up the question of "what's the point of planting the flowers when they'll be flooded over and destroyed?" The second scene is the response - to the effect that "then we just plant them all over again". This means that Shinn was supposed to end up losing from the very beginning.
By the way, I think that Durandal fits better as the protagonist.
