Why doesn't Harry resurrect the people he just killed, or at least freeze them? They don't have to die.
He's out of mana. Also, staying at the scene would be an enormous risk. Also, being death eaters, they would on average kill more than one person each.
The last reason isn't good enough to stop him from freezing them until after he can protect their potential victims. (Not that it matters, since the first reason holds.)
Well, as a point of practicality, he's used up all his magic for at least the next hour and only has so many items in his first-aid kit.
He would need to wipe their memories first, one would assume; right now, the only witnesses to the scene remember nothing, and Harry (as an Occlumens) can pretend to not have knowledge of it.
