Mikasa abandoned reason (which was just to let Levi slash her into submission to get Eren out) for emotional desires. Levi abandoned reason (in my opinion, killing Zeke right there and then would have been the best option) for emotional desires (wanting to save someone with the Titan serum, implied to be Erwin). I disagree, the Beast Titan is very powerful. Aside from having another shifter on their side (and a very strong one that can overpower Reiner), humanity would have someone else who is able to control the Titans since Zeke can order them to do things, even if it is not always 100% effective (Chapter 35 page 30-32). Levi probably didn't want to waste all this potential and power, however I'm really surprised he didn't notice the Quad Titan coming for them, usually Levi is very sharp. It would have been the best option to keep Zeke alive and feed him to a SC-allied shifter turned by the serum, but wouldn't the other Titans (the ones that Levi didn't kill on his way to Zeke, the same ones that Zeke also orders to kill Levi) have noticed and then tried to kill him?

I feel like Eren having the Coordinate makes keeping Zeke alive redundant because Eren can also control the Titans (with limited effectiveness, but there has to be a reason why Zeke would go towards so much trouble in bringing back the Coordinate instead of just using his Titan ordering power to destroy humanity, which means that the Coordinate is more valuable than what Zeke can do).

I guess he didn't notice the Quad Titan coming at him because he was too busy worrying about saving someone by using the serum, and he was probably too focused on Zeke. I guess humanity's last trump card was shown in Zeke not expecting Levi's strength and now, besides an unreliable Coordinate user in Eren, the Survey Corps have nothing (unless Hange went to the basement when all of this was going on).
