Again, when Kushina's bijuu was extracted, there was no way to save her. She herself says if she resealed the bijuu she'd just die and take it with her. Magically, Naruto is the first time in the entire manga where a jinchuuriki could be saved by resealing its bijuu.

That's a retcon.

And it creates this incredible plot hole that says that Minato and Kushina died for absolutely no reason. They could've just resealed the Kyuubi inside her and went home to enjoy their brand new baby.

For one thing, Ginseng, you have a mistake in your facts. Kushina didn't and wouldn't have died even if Kurama was extracted. It would just greatly weaken her. Kushina suggested to Minato to reseal Kurama into her and she would, say, commit suicide, taking Kurama with her. Kushina would definitely have survived if Kurama was resealed back into her except that she would need some rest before doing anything crazy.
