perhaps it should have been more thought out but how would it fit into dying during Winterfell battle vs undead? the whole point of dragon dying to Euron is to make Dany go full ham on KL like you said
The dragon dying by the hands of Euron has nothing to do with Dany going full ham. She would be just as aggravated if the dragon died by the undead as it would still be dead.
It's not a huge issue - the dragon was going to die anyway to level the playing field and contribute to Dany's insanity and rage. I'm just being critical, as it was poorly done in my opinion.

It was a [in the writers minds] a necessary plot point. They needed the Dragon to die, so Dany would run away, so euron could smash their ships, so Grey worms boo would get captured, so she could be executed in front of Dany, so perhaps Dany goes full mad king & destroys kings landings?
& you’re saying you don’t like that...I can understand that. They had to kill some of her dragons off eventually though, otherwise she’d be pretty unstoppable, even with the addition of the overly op scorpions.
Agreed. It's not a huge glaring issue like the time travel we had in past seasons. I just didn't like the way it was done. Dany has 3 dragons, one of which already died in spectacular fashion by the night king for Resurrection and destruction of the wall. That was how a death of a dragon should be done as it had purpose. The death of this dragon is more or less pointless.
I guess my main gripe would be that it should be a bit more of a major event. It seems like they were just like "welp, we gotta kill this dragon so let's hide the pirate behind a mountain and have him headshot the dragon so we can hurry along to the kings landing scene."
