Ackbar was killed off because the actor who played him died.

I too would have liked a better end for him. I do like how he was handled in the Legends continuity. It largely focused around the New Jedi Order series (the one with the Yuuzhan Vong) Late in the series, with things looking very tough for the galaxy, Ackbar, now very old, comes out of retirement in an advisory role and helps strategize an actual decisive win against the Yuuzhan Vong that ends up being a turning point for the Galactic Alliance. In the final book in the series, as the GA is on the path to victory, the news comes over the line that Ackbar dies of natural causes and while it shakes everyone, it ends up being part of their resolve to succeed.
