Why the heck does this happen? Is Legolas some sort of psycho lusting for killing? Did he not have enough targets at Helm's Deep just one day before? The whole thing just screams 'plot device to get rid of uneeded character'

It's beause Legolas is trying to stop Grima killing Saruman so Gandalf can get the info from him that Minas Tirith is next to fall.
