Mia definitely made no sense. She was, as you said, just an edgelord cheerleader who Light had a boner for, for presumably no reason other than she was hot. Her personality was terrible. Even in the beginning, Light thinks she betrayed him after the bully fight. It's baffling that Light would just show her the Death Note because he's madly attracted to her and wants to impress her, but it's even more baffling that this random girl is cool with it. From there on, she is portrayed as willing to kill all kinds of people that Light is not willing to kill. It's not only unexplained what Mia's motivations are besides being an innately horrible person, it's unexplained what Light could possibly like about her if he's a more moral person than she.

I think there really would've been no point in Light at all - without him being remotely reminiscent of the original character - if Mia outsmarted Light and killed him. I really, really wanted Light to betray and kill her and go full Kira mode - because it would've at least justified this Light being a, erm, nicer (?) guy than the anime Light, for the sake of contrast. Plus, it would've been cool if he ~judged~ her to be a horrible person and took her out. I know he kind of ended up killing her, but they played it off like he didn't actually intend to and really didn't want to do it.

The whole Mia thing was just a mess, honestly. It wasn't satisfying to see Light jerked around by her when he's supposed to be the one jerking people around. I wouldn't mind a more vicious and intelligent version of Misa, but she didn't have any motivations. Hell, they gave Misa's motivations to Light (parent killed by bad guys and never got punished, ergo the avenger role, instead of Light just killing people out of his pure idealism). Just so disappointing.
