I think you're confusing two different types of redemption. Vader redeems himself in the sense of genuinely regretting his actions and by dedicating the last few minutes of his life to making sure he can do some tiny scrap of good for the galaxy. He doesn't redeem himself in the sense of undoing or canceling out his past misdeeds. I'm pretty sure no one would say that it would be better if Vader stuck to his guns and said "Yeah, no, too late for me, I'm not gonna defeat the emperor because I don't deserve the redemption of regretting my actions and changing my mind" because the first type of redemption doesn't work that way, and Vader gets the first type of redemption, not the second.

And if he was alive at the end of the movie, he'd still deserve to go to jail for the rest of his life. Redemption isn't bestowed on him -- there's no indication whatsoever that the Force has anything Heaven/Hell-related, bestowed-from-above at all. It's not a Christian higher power thing, it's a more eastern fabric-of-the-cosmos thing.

His redemption has nothing to do with "this character is more important than another character," it has to do with Vader deciding to do something good with his life, even if he wasted 20+ years of it being evil.
