why did Lakshman/Balram have to die before Rama/Krishna?
because Lakshman and Balram are the incarnation of Sheshnaga which is the serpent demigod that Vishnu (Rama/Krishna) resides on in the milk sea. So Lakshman/Balram (Sheshnaga) had to die before Rama/Krishna (Vishnu) so that when Vishnu returned to his abode his seat, Sheshnaga, is ready for him to return to.
