Having to value life and see its beauty does not mean you are not allowed to kill it. Death is still an integral part of life as any facet of it there is. What Rose had to face was pretty much "The Trolley Problem". It's pretty much just a play on morality, let one live and let thousands, if not millions, suffer or eliminate one and save multitudes of lives.

Also, false dilemmas are bad :C It's not always an either or situation of Steven having to shatter only the Diamonds or having to shatter every opposing Gem. Gems have been shown to be sentient enough to learn compassion. Ruby and Sapphire did it without even having made contact with any human, and both weren't even made on Earth. It could go down many paths.

If I remember correclty, there was a twitter post from a crewniverse (it was Matt) scoffing at the idea that a Diamond can be poofed. Which probably won't be too farfetched as diamonds irl are extremely hard, it cannot be scratched by anything other than itself or something harder, but diamonds are very fragile, they'll shatter easily.
