Even Trubel did not remember even though she was brought back after dying. I could see how Nick would be reluctant to tell everyone that he saw them die. The other thing how does Nick explain it. For one he was there but has no idea exactly what happened. Even the part before time reset. Diana say saw mari and Kelly Trubel did not.Kelly literally said "my father told me" that statement alone negates everything you just wrote. Diana could have confirmed everything as the only other person who remembers that night, but Kelly only credits Nick for the Zerstörer information. Nick didn't want to lose his family and friends when they died, I doubt he'd give them up now that they were alive. According to the show and it's writers, he didn't (and he's very much alive and he's with Adalind) but clearly this ending isn't to your taste. Wanting the ending to be different is one thing but suggesting the your preferred ending is what did in fact happen is a stretch too far. If Nick was ever written to be more like his supposed outlier ancestors he wouldn't hold on tightly to those he loved and Nick did this at least twice, once the with Juliette after his aunt told him to let her go and when he told his mom and Aunt he wanted Adalind, Diana, his eon and his friends back.
I could see that it was Diana that told Kelly the story. Kelly was there, he saw a lot of what happened. He was just to young to understand. That does not mean he might not have started having dreams about what he had saw. Diana being his sister he may have confided in her. The big question is why twenty years later does he make the entry in the book. The delay could be that Nick did not want the others to know that they had died. Kelly is recounting the story know because Nick is no longer around. From the books the life span of a grimm is not that long. Considering they go from one battle to another that makes since.
Considering that the entire series showed that anyone associated to a Grimm would be on constant danger. It would make since for Nick to do like his mom and then his aunt. Isolate from the ones he knows to protect them. That was the entire theme of the show. Grimm and family do not mix. It started with Juliette being in constant danger. then it was Adalind in danger.
To suggest he abandoned his family is to go against established character traits to match up with someone else who had a different outlook in like. Family was important to Nick so he stayed, he didn't leave. His mother left and regretted it ever since and he swore his son would have a better life than him (having a mother and I assume a father present in his life) by that reason alone. Nick's grandfather raised both his aunts and uncle, Marie raised Nick when Kelly couldn't, Kelly told him never to leave those he loved so even with a dangerous lifestyle, it's very possible to have a family if one wanted and Nick wanted it all.
As for dead Nick, that's not the case either. The scene in the trailer speaks more about him than anyone else. It's a call back to S1 Nick in the trailer, not Renard who was an villain in that same period. The fact that they are using the stick that's supposed to be protected by Nick and kept away from the hands of wrong people (without a complete change of heart and morals, Renard falls under the wrong hands). Then there's the triplets whose parents disliked Renard and felt he couldn't be trusted. They only ever worked with him because of Nick and without Nick I don't buy them exposing their children to Renard's influence unchecked, there's just no way they could be meeting up with Renard. Nick is the "dad" they are meeting and you don't like it and that's honestly fine. We all have things we'd like to change about Grimm, however it doesn't actually change what happened or the writers' ultimate vision/intention with the characters at the end.
