I won't argue he raises a valid concern. I'm of the thought if we don't contain the danger here, it will spread further, but perhaps he's right and the longer we linger, we risk being the architects of our own doomed fate and that of others beyond Akhuras. Not your comforting bedtime story.

[ But then, as much as the Doctor presents with an air of optimism and hope, he knows the pendulum can swing the other direction, he's not blind to it. ]

So he wants to largely ensure we're able to leave through the beacons. Those who summoned us here assumed we'd all easily fall to the fate of the undead hordes and grow their army. They weren't counting on their repeated failures. If we left through the beacons now, what's to stop the malevolent forces summoning more innocent people? Even if we escaped and destroyed the beacons on our way out, I wouldn't trust them not to rebuild and continue what they've started.
