Yeah, there were several lapses of common sense from both sides of the battle, like the Dothraki re-enacting the Charge of Light Brigade futility and the NK blithely sauntering into Bran's obvious trap before his undead horde had the chance to easily finish off the few defenders left.  It's like the NK was late for his dragon blue-eye flight to KL on Viserion Dead Air so he had to hurry with the hands-on and overly dramatic icing of Bran.

The NK believed that he had won.   The few defenders remaining he didn't consider a threat, if he even considered them at all.  He wasn't in a hurry; he waited until he felt safe enough to take out the 3-Eyed Raven.   He did similar with the previous 3-Eyed Raven.  KL?  The NK would have went first to the Isle of Faces.  :)

But this is an unproven assumption given there is no evidence that this was the NK's belief other than him being there.  And unless he was blind and deaf, how could he believe that the remaining defenders were no threat given that fighting was obviously still going on throughout Winterfell.  There was no reason for him to rely on his unfounded beliefs when all he had to do was simply wait until every defender was known to be dead instead given all the WW kryptonite, i.e. dragon glass and Valyrian steel, that was visible everywhere.  How did he know that there weren't any arrowheads or spears of the stuff lying around for one of those defenders to take a potshot at him with.  There was literally no reason to for him to even kill the the 3ER himself at all other than it looked cool, according to the show's writers(D&D).  If you re-watch the episode, once he a warged the wights into crossing the fire trench the battle was strategically won, given the vast numerical superiority of the AOTD.  He actually flew off immediately afterwards, job finished.  Instead of foolishly hanging around waiting to be killed he should have taken a long, long break, and kept flying to the Ye Olde Panera Bread where Hot Pie works and chilled for a few hours until the AOTD had reduced Winterfell to literal rubble, which they easily could have done.  Order a frappucino, use the free weirwood wifi, post some selfies to IG.  :cheers:

Someone else posted this that explains most of the this and the other problems with the episode:
