I couldn!t agree more with Pandora Candy. In almost all of those instances, Ladybug was the one being targeted, and a Chat Noir was there to save her, even if it meant his own corruption. Not only does he loves her, he knows he has to protect her cause he can't purify akumas and fix everything. He could destroy the akumatized object, but the overall destruction would remain and the butterfly would escape, so it would be Stoneheart all over again.

Think of it like a game of chess, where he's the queen and Ladybug's the king. Ironic I know, but it's how it works. Chat Noir is usually the one who moves the most, and sometimes sacrifices himself in order to keep the most important chess piece intact. You lose the king, you lose the entire game.
