Cline's a really nice guy, though. His first thought about the situation isn't "Oh God, I should stay alive!" or "What's my advantage?" but rather "I gotta help my friends!"

Well, logically speaking:
1 - The party is already agitated and pissed off. Their hindsight tells them that moment that "Beta-Testers are evil".
2 - Kirito is already exposed as a Beta-Tester aka branded as the bad guy. Would you believe anything that he says to defend himself? It's much easier to convince people of what they want to believe in, which in this case is that Kirito "is a Beta-Tester and thus is bad guy."
3 - Finally, revealing that their leader hid his identity as a Beta-Tester will further agitate the party and invoke distrust among the players, further dividing the community. Such is the last thing we need in a death game.
Hope that helps.
