Unfortunately the Americans didn't want to break Islamic tradition, that states a person should be buried within 24 hours, and they also did not want Osama's grave to be some sort of shrine, so they buried him in the ocean, where he could not be accessed.
Wait, they didn't want to break Islamic tradition, yet they blew half his face off without thinking twice. I'm sure he could have had valuable information too, it wouldn't have hurt any to conk him on the head and bring him to trial. It's not like he was dangerous at that moment in the compound, they reported he was unarmed. I dare not say anymore for fear of dragging this out and making a mess. But please ponder my words.
The computers, hard drives and much more data had a ton of important info, but I might agree with you however. But being a US Navy Seal in a blazing firefight, is probably a lot stressful and hard to think through than it sounds. So in the heat of the battle, they may have accidentally done so.
On a side note, if you clicked on the facebook spam on Pictures of Osama.....
