As earlier poster said this show is terrible but I love Trek so I will keep watching and complaining which makes me stupid.

Landry got herself killed because she's taken Lorca's "succeed at any cost" directives too far and was egged on by him putting the Corvan(?) 2 distress call over the PA which is stupid. Her death makes sense on a meta level because it reminds you that there are consequences that even "main" characters aren't immune from to keep the stakes and therefore view interest high and to reinforce the Star Trek narrative of "acting rationally and ethically based on science and logical reasoning = good; acting impulsively on emotion and without regards of ethics and without understanding= bad."
