Zoso didn't have the dagger. I mean, it was not in his own possession. He needed it to be retrieved in the first place. Actually here you are right...So Zoso is stupid because he didn't stole it and killed himself  XD If stealing back the Dark One's Dagger was so easy, then Rumple wouldn't have gone above and beyond multiple times to prefent other people from getting it, would he? :)

By, logic, once someone gets control over the Dark One by owning the dagger, the Dark One must be restrained from turning against him. That's why Zoso had Rumple stealing the dagger for him, and that's why Gold had Mary Margaret kill Cora to get the dagger back.
