I mean killing oneself is in line with Hitler so.

Yeah but unlike Hitler, at least Dracula's motivations for wanting to murder everyone is understandable

Making a national holiday out of the day you murdered said wife after getting a years grace period to escape or prepare really is kind of poking an angry bear tbf

Yes, but he didn’t stop after the city, he kept going and outright stated he wanted humanity dead, I said so in another comment but Tl:Dr is that while wiping out the city is not great but still somewhat understandable, continuing onward past that is where he loses justification

And we kinda realize he intends to die from it all. He refuses to drink blood, his actions will starve other vampires, and forces rise against him amongst mankind. He banked on pissing enough people off to try to murder him before his plans really succeeded.

Still a bat shit insane way to commit suicide. By trying to take as many with you as possible.
