Well, Aggamemnon had to die because he was basically the bad guy and the ending just wouldn't have been satisfying if all the heroes die yet the bad guy doesn't. Plus, they wanted to keep the story based in reality so that was why they didn't have things like Achillies fighting a man who was invunerable to blades.
I think in the end they just wanted to make the story how it most likely actually happened, taking away much of the myth and mysticism surrounding it all. Kind of like what they've done with the new King Arthur movie.
