Neal saw that his father was more valuable, valuable enough to be revived. So he did so. He didn't do it on his own, and if he'd known the cost of reviving him, he might not have tried to open that vault. Doing so does not take away what Gold did - spending his own life to kill his own father to save everyone.

Both men did what they believed was right.
