Why did they need to take it to this level of stupidity.

Dude, come on man you've got to connect with the characters. Obviously Harrelson's character never would be in for this type of stuff, but he didn't know the extent of what was going to take place and he's entirely caught up with what is happening in his personal life right now to be in the right mind to stop what they went to do. He's a good actor and portrayed this through out the scenes, it kind of hit him when he was sitting in his car - as he realized this was entirely out of the normal scope of work - and in his eyes when he driving them away. The entire time leading up to it you could see he didn't think it was right but couldn't focus on the job and was off in his head about his wife and kids. And there is a lot more going on than what we know for McConaughey's character. It's like there is a secondary plot line going on with him and his past that we don't know the story to yet. He was far to ready and prepared to just jump into what they did at the end.
... This is why HBO programming is so great, and this show in particular is one of their best.
