In philosophical terms, death is undesirable because it removes our agency, in other words, our ability to take action and make decisions.
That said, I see death as a welcome relief after a lifetime of struggle, so I don't see it as inherently bad. As Sweeney Todd put it, "The lives of the wicked should be made brief//for the rest of us death will be a relief."
