Killing Day allowed them to send Brother Whatshername into the lifeboat.
And saving the people of Terminus makes Harry not look like a complete monster for sacrificing it to Empire. It actually makes his plan make sense, which it didn't really if he was willing to let the heart of Foundation be ripped out like that. This way, he has a shadow Foundation that Empire doesn't even know exists. As far as they know, they were dealt a serious defeat with the loss of their fleet, but they believed that they had also at least crippled their adversary.
Were they physically saved or only their conscience, hari seldon way?
