While what the writers did with this episode did feel rushed, and what the characters did was harsh, I personally liked the finale as it was. If they did another big battle like they did in Season 1 it would have been kind of boring to see another battle in the dark where we can barely make out whose who. Also, it shows just how hard life on the ground has actually been for the Sky People who never imagined any of this while back on The Ark: having to fight everyday just to live, adjusting to surroundings that you weren't raised in, and constantly living in fear that if you mess up you'll die is actually shown with this happening. Lastly, it is a cruel/tragic irony that while Clarke and Bellamy led the Delinquents to kill over 300 Grounders in the 1st Season in self defense when at war to save their people, then to see how much they have grown this season and made better connections with their enemy, they ultimately had to kill another 300 people again to save their people. And while you can argue that they didn't need to kill all the Mountain Men, Bellamy even said that the Mountain Men never would have stopped and Abby and Octavia probably would have been killed, so as it was I liked the ending (save for the Jaha parts, but we can all agree that he is the weakest character on the show).
