Although there's a certain degree to which we can predict or expect the death of Captain America, there's still no denying that, in the heat of the moment, it's going to be a major shock.

We're so used to seeing these movies go the way of our heroes, especially in the end, that the expectation by-and-large will be for this to follow suit. However, with Thanos likely to be the victor here, that can't really be the case, and it needs that huge statement to tell the audience this really isn't going to go the way things normally do.

Nothing would set that up better than the destruction of the most purely good and earnest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, while there's also the argument fans would be expecting THAT to be as far as the movie goes, before then having Thanos win.
