Mace Windu getting killed was the turning point and point of no return for the three film character arc of Anakin Skywalker. That's a long way from "needlessly". Sure the character didn't have to be killed, but the impact of him being betrayed and killed was enormous. The plot of the third film (and the entire prequel trilogy) culminated with his death scene.
The bones of the story beats leading to that moment were so good, but ruined by terrible dialog along the way.
George Lucas gonna George Lucas.
