Killing Fredo was necessary to the survival of the Corleone Family.

Fredo was a fool who had already been tricked into betraying the Family. Michael couldn't take a chance that it might happen again.

There was a foreshadowing of all of this in the first movie when Fredo took up for Moe Green against Michael and Michael warned Fredo to never take sides against the Family again.

So was it more cold-hearted or less cold-hearted to allow Fredo to live while Momma was around? It protects Momma from burying another son, but Fredo is meek and humbled by this point - just living out his days at the protected Lake Tahoe compound praying Hail Mary's and fishing.
