michael's destiny is tied to walts. all the leaders of the island have had no mother and a strained relationship with their father that drives them.
ben, mom died in childbirth, hated his dad
locke, given up by mom for adoption, hated his dad
walt, mom dies while he is young, barely knows his dad
aaron, given up by mom, abandonned by his dad before he was even born
so michael can't die yet because he still has to affect walt's development, IMO
