Because DS is a Gothic story, and as such the good often do stupid things because they honestly believe they're the righteous ones and they're protected by their righteousness - BUT in the Gothic realm Fate often tends to laugh at that belief, and so they end up dieing at the hands of the evil. Generally, though, the evil do get their comeuppance in the end - though, of course, that will never happen with Barnabas (much to some DS fans' chagrin - right, Raineypark ).
In this instance, in order to keep Barn around, it was absolutely necessary for Barn to get rid of Woodard. The interesting thing to think about here, though, is it was originally supposed to be the other way around...

That was a great scene between Barnabas and Dr. Woodard, though.
I've always loved Barnabas' great display of indignation with his remark about receiving one slap in face after another (MPI used that sequence to hilarious effect in one of their TV promos for the VHS tapes). But talk about indignation that couldn't be less justified. The act and the facts are completely at odds.
