How should those fights have been easy wins for the antagonists? Cordo was trying to fight the heroes with a mech deisgned for giant Grimm, all to prove a point. And she wasn't even trying to take them alive, so the heroes did what they had to do to survive.

And no, they didn't kill Adam just for a ship, more likely because it'd been planned in advance by Miles, Kerry, and Monty. Adam was at the end of his rope, he had nothing left to live for. Him surviving would've dragged the story down. And that brand will doubtlessly become more significant once the heroes reach Atlas, they don't need Adam alive to tell that story.

As for him being the superior fighter, that doesn't help if he fights recklessly, which he did against both Blake and Yang; spamming his Semblance, taking more hits than giving out, along with falling from the relay tower and getting hit by Bumblebee. He was destined to go down in that fight, and he most certainly did. The stronger opponent doesn't always win, swagger, if you were expecting differently then I don't know what to say.

He wasn't fighting for the Faunus, though, he was fighting for himself. He says so near the end of his Character Short, and it's highlighted in his theme song, "Lionized". His whole goal was to become the new supreme ruler of Remnant, over a Faunus-dominated society. Not to mention he tried blaming Sienna's death on humanity so the Fang would continue to follow his lead, so he's not above sacrificing Faunus to further his goals. In short he was trying to be bigger than he actually was, which was also shown in the story, and he ultimately fell his short. His obsession with Blake proved to be his undoing. Essentially Adam wasted his whole life on vengeance, which cost him in the end.
