Why doesn't God kill Satan? Maybe you should define Satan, which you tried.
In the old testament, Satan seems like God's buddy, nothing special, but in the new one, he seems to have powers.
Now, I guess, many Christians blame Satan for all the evil that is happening in the world and the universe, imagine him as constantly present everywhere, thus making Satan ridiculously powerful and therefore a ridiculous concept that God created him and allowing him to exist because he is a fully formed deity.
Especially since some Christians (like agnostics) believe that Satan created the world.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
