We're in the homestretch. The Wildlings have already been brought south of the wall and largely assimilated into the area. The walkers aren't gonna be brought down by a bunch of largely untrained free folk swinging dull blades.
What purpose can Tormund possibly serve to the story at this point? As a pure storytelling device, the highest and best use of his character right now is to kill him off and keep the audience tense.
But again - bad storytelling.
