He died happy saving those he could. Also, Otonashi arrives to the after life only to fufill Kanade's regret, which was to thank the person who donated the heart, which was Otonashi. Lets say Otonashi was the creator. In episode 12, the AI says the creator went insane after his love left and so, became an npc. This is not possible due to the fact Otonashi died without any regrets, only reason he was there was because of Kanade. He was the bug.

you said the Otanashi died without any regrets, but maybe his regrets weren't created in the real world and instead were created when kanade left him alone
