Your logic makes no sense. If you're in a wrecked ship (or even half of one) with no chance of retreat or extraction, where are you gonna run? If you've got three superior enemy vessels facing you off which can outrun you, outmanoeuvre you and outgun you why wouldn't you do whatever you can do even the odds?
Taking out one of those three ships gives you more chance of survival than keeping your only available weapon to yourself because you can't kill the other two.
What else could he have done?
Use stealth and infiltrate one of the ships. Stealth is a lot better than screaming "I'm over here and I just killed a bunch of your buddies!".
If the portal hadn't opened up, those two other ships would have instantly destroyed the wreck of the Dawn. Firing that missile was utterly pointless and reduced the Chiefs chances of survival.
But again thats bad writing for you.
Missile-defense Pulse lasers would have vaporized Chief. The nuke only got through because it was huge.
Boarding a Covie vessel is widely considered to be impossible unless you can distract it first with another warship, or cripple it.
Also if he did board it, the Covies would rather commit ritual suicide/fratricide than see their own ship fall to the humans.
Especially the man they consider to be Satan.
