Why must you kill my favorites?

(with the exception of Kaylee, but other than watching bits and pieces of episodes so I don't lose the characters' voices for my fics, I haven't watched Firefly much since my Buffy discovery in April.)I'm in a terrible mood right now, and I decided to go watch Angel by way of therapy. I'm watching early seasons since we only have one and two on DVD, but I am totally miserable about the fact that on both Angel and Buffy, Joss has killed my favorites.
Yes, Illyria was an excellent & utterly fascinating character, but I loved Fred. She's my very most favorite in all of Angel and she even ranks slightly higher than Tara.
So of course, he has to kill her in this brilliantly tragic plotline that makes me cry just thinking of it. (seriously, my brother made me a shirt which reads 'You just can't argue with FRED logic!' and has a few of his favorite Fred quotes on it, and I teared up because he included "please, Wesley, why can't I stay?" and "Would you have loved me?")
WHY?! Why not kill someone useless who I didn't love as a character, hmm?
