He's just a stereotypic character based on the fact that power corrupts. Even though, he's a nice old-school Horadrim, he is mad and obsessed with the soulstone. That's it. Kill him.
It's not. But he's obviously in it for himself so if he had survived I doubt he would've joined the campfire and sung songs. Probably would've tried to make off with the soulstone and use it to his own ends, he is obsessed with it after all. So we might've ended up having to kill him anyway.
He's crazy. But he's right about pretty much everything.
And yes, Tyrael is really using you. The mastermind behind everything that happened is not Diablo, it's actually Tyrael. He lost every single battle, thus letting the worldstone be corrupted and Diablo come back through Leah+Black Soulstone.
You think he's just too bad at winning battles. But he's fooling you.
Hmm, Tyrael appears to have gotten what he wanted out of all this - he got to experience life as a mortal, understand humans, defeat all the forces of Hell and forge an alliance between Heaven and Sanctuary. If he masterminded the whole thing then maybe that's what he wanted all along... but then the Horadrim killing Zoltun Kulle seems kind of counter-productive as his "plan" hinges on the Nephalem re-emerging.
So basically, while he's not exactly a nice guy, everything Zoltun Kulle says is correct and if we'd listened to him we'd have worked out that Adria was not to be trusted, Diablo would never have been released and Leah would probably still be alive. Consider:
1) He's constantly warning you not to trust the people egging you on in your quest
2) When he discovers the black soulstone has the lords of hell inside it he tries to explicitly warn you that you're being manipulated, which you interpret as a betrayal and kill him (doh). Notice that he actually DOES keep his word at least up to this point, the only reason he doesn't hand over the soulstone is because of what he realises your "friends" plan to use it for
3) He keeps telling you that neither angels nor demons can be trusted and humanity's destiny is to become Nephalem... ironically he was originally killed by the other Horadrim which were created by Tyrael, and Tyrael is responsible for the reemergence of Nephalem since he shattered the Worldstone. And the plot of Diablo 3 is basically all about humanity recovering their Nephalem birthright and defeating Hell (and forming an alliance with Heaven apparently, though we'll have to see how that works out)
4) Basically all of the incidental detail he gives you is correct, such as the Angiris Council's vote on Sanctuary's existence. I even saw him hint to the Templar that he knew the true origin of his order, I wonder if he has similar dialogue with the other companions
Now if we hadn't killed him he might still have run off with the soulstone or attacked us or in some other way required killing anyway - I mean, he's a selfish jerk - but he at least had the decency to warn us about what was going to happen so we could've avoided or mitigated it.
