I know you're looking for someone to blame here but Dresden was just the next thing the allies could attack in a long series of attacks. You say Germany was already defeated but the truth is they had already been defeated for months if not years. but that didn't stop them from fighting. Just a couple months before the Dresden attack the supposedly defeated Germans mounted a huge offensive in the Ardenne.

In a fight to the finish you just keep punching until your opponent goes down. No fighter can tell you what the 2nd or 3rd to last punch in a fight is going to be before he throws it. Dresden was just one of those last punches in a fight that is now over.
