I interpreted that line in the post-death scene completely differently. It seems like you took it as "eh, who cares about them, we've got this Walpurgis thing covered," whereas I read it as "don't lose hope, Madoka, we still have a chance to save the people that are left."
One of them has to be the strong/optimistic one in that moment. They just got through what happened to Sayaka when grief and despair took her over. And if Homura says something that highlights how awful it is for Madoka to have just killed Mami, that's hardly going to help. Homura's still used to thinking of Madoka as the strong one at that point -- she's clearly shaky and uncertain when stepping into the caretaking/reassuring role -- but she's trying to provide what Madoka needs to survive.
I do agree completely that Homura was messed-up by the end. Trauma will do that to a person! I don't agree that it was a bad thing for her to give up on saving everyone. It's not for any lack of effort or will on her part -- the training/witch-hunting/weapons-deploying montages should have made that much clear. But every person has human limits. You can hardly fault Homura for not spending the rest of eternity trying and failing, over and over, to do things that experience had shown to be beyond her power.
