I think keeping the mentalcase away from the people he's grown to care for and trying to protect is probably the best logic he's shown in the whole show. Them reluctantly accepting Merle into the group would seem like a pretty easy route for the writers to have gone in terms of creating drama and tension in the group, but "realistically" nobody would ever have brought him in, given his history.
There could still well be an arc down the line of minor redemption for Merle, before he's accepted into the group, then leading to that tension I just mentioned, but I'm glad they didn't try and force it in now.
