At first, I thought his death was pointless, too, but then I realized that it wasn't. He saved the station. See, when whathisface blew that porthole open, because of what Charlie did, it kept the station from sinking. He saved Desmond. If he'd just run, the whole place would have flooded, but because he shut and locked the door, it kept the flood to just that room.
Well, doesn't it shut from the other side, too? Couldn't he have run out and then closed it? But if that were the case, then Desmond could have opened the door and saved him. I don't think what he did was as stupid as it initially appeared.
And I really have to say - I was very impressed with Charlie in this last episode. He did an awesome job, and showed a lot more dimensions than he got to in past episodes.
