The main target was the Chimeran tower, not the Terraformer(s). Since it was heavily guarded they decided to use the Terraformer to destroy it. Doing that would have killed most of the chimera in the North-East. I would assume that was the point of staying alive and giving humanity some hope.

But what hope would that give if there are still more terraformers/towers?  Plus there's no organized human resistance anymore, if they couldn't do it before when the chimera were isolated in Europe, how would they do it now?

The chimera were never isolated in Europe. They were expanding. In the beginning of the first game, they had already took over Asia and in the second they took over the Americas.

Spoiler. In the first game they destroyed the tower in the UK, i think, which then wiped the chimera out of the region; giving them some leverage in the war (Retribution expands on this event further). By the end of the second game, it was clear what the Chimeran towers were for.

For your first question, I guess it would be peace of mind and hope that the world would rid itself of Chimeras. I suppose it is valid to just think "hell with it all, we will die anyways". But the same logic could make a game like Fallout 3 moot; why try to purify the river if the wasteland has gone to hell?

I guess faith that humanity will come out on top resides behind the premise of these kind of games.
