I don't think we all truly understand just how important Max was to Gus.

Gus and Hector both believed in "blood for blood", which means kinda the same thing as "an eye for an eye" - a punishment equal in kind to the offense. Not greater, nor any less.

So, naturally, that would have meant that the punishment for Max's murder would be either the death of Hector, or the person closest to him. But that wasn't the case for Gus.

Gus literally took each and every person Hector knew and loved away from him as revenge. One person was not enough, nor only Hector. Max was so important to Gus, that he believed Max's life, the life of one person, was worth the lives of each and every cartel man/Salamanca together, which make up probably more, or even way more, than 10.

In order for the revenge to be "fair", Gus had to weigh everything on a scale, and so Max's life and every other life weighed the same. If he were to remove even one person from the other side of the scale, Max's side would be heavier, and he didn't want that. He wanted Hector to suffer just like he did. And so, Gus believed that if he were to kill every person close to Hector, only then will Hector suffer like Gus did when he took Max from him.

I cannot even stress this enough: For him, for Max, he had to finish off AN ENTIRE CARTEL for the revenge to be fair, for the "blood for blood" to actually apply. Not more, nor any less. He believed his life was worth tenfold than what it did. That's how important Max was to Gus.
