I talk quite a bit about Snart, Mick and their love for each other. Because even when you don't ship them, they have an intense bond, there is love, even if there are times when they have a fucked up relationship.
So why did Snart kill a version of Mick?
The best explanation is Snart was pulled from the timeline after he got the cold gun (which he already has) but before he reconnected with Mick by giving him the heat gun. This is why in WWI Snart asks Mick when did they ever destroy things they've stolen, when Mick does exactly that in their first episode together on the Flash, he destroys the painting they steal.
This period was probably one of the worst periods for them. They hadn't seen each other in a year and left on bad terms. There was likely a lot of hard feelings still between them.
But it was hard feelings that Snart got over quick the other times. On the Flash, Snart was willing to let Mick walk away from the job, something he killed another member of his team over in his first episode. And in Doomworld he was willing to Thawne's lapdog to protect Mick.
In WWI, Snart didn't have time to get over his hard feelings towards Mick. But there's also the fact that this Snart was fighting for his survival, he knew he was going to die (a sacrfice he didn't understand), which wasn't a concern to him on the Flash and in Doomworld.
By the time he died, Snart probably would have hated the version in WWI if he encountered him, especially for the way he treated Mick.
