They killed a sh*tload of people and in a much more cold and sinister manner, all Michael wanted was to get his kid back. And WHY did the smoke monster kill Eko? Also a question never answered.
Is there just a "no darkies in heaven" policy?

Likely, Samuel (the man in black) was wanting to see if he could use Mr. Eko to do his bidding, maybe even try to occupy his body. That first time he "judged" Eko, he could have been thinking.. alright, this guy might be useful to me (same as with Locke). But for whatever reason, when Eko expressed that he was at peace with his life - he didn't want to confess sins - he became useless to the monster and he simply discarded him.
I believe Eko wasn't there because he didn't need to be. He didn't need the others to move on. He was already at peace with himself when he died. To quote the character, "I did not ask for this life I have been given, but it was given nonetheless. And with it, I did my best." When Eko dies, the last thing he sees is himself walking down a dusty road with his deceased little brother, who he loved and always protected. Are they in heaven together? Maybe. Another theory is that that was Eko's purgatory - could be either one... I personally prefer the heaven one because it didn't seem like Eko needed to "let go" of anything.
