It might have made sense if they had something T-1000 needed, but all it was is that he "didn't like loose ends". He could have just left early for the meeting with arms dealer and been totally fine.
I was curious if this was just them following the novel, so I looked up a plot summary. And no, the novel made more sense.
Spoiler!

It's weird, I don't know why they would change it to something that makes less sense. Maybe they felt like they needed to add a bigger action scene for the ending, but I think it would have been better to beef up the confrontation with the arms dealer instead. Especially since that ended up being so anticlimactic. Which is another thing, the setup of that guy was pretty pointless. Like they spend this time setting up his resourcefulness and ruthlessness and in the end all he does is walk in and get shot.
