We still be here on the molecular level though.
Yes but you and I wont be, and what is left has nothing to do with who we were, we were nothing but a conditioned programmed mind body organism, right from birth we were conditioned, at death all that conditioning will be gone.
Its no different than your waste products from your body, its still part of you, the skin falling off, but is that you, and so it will be when we die, our body will be waste, why even think of the atoms and everything else that made that body ?.

For this life is enough, when its finished its finished, why be greedy, let it go and let others lives live their life.
I've never understood that point of view. Voluntary death is fine, if I have had enough and go willingly. There is no way I'm going to get to that point within my biologically limited allotment of time though so death will be an imposition and it sucks.
I have talked to many old people, and most are ready to leave this world, they have enjoyed their life and now they are ready to leave. Its those who have never truly lived that are afraid of death, they feel cheated by death, because they never new what it was like to truly live.
