Well, I understand you thinking that Gumball is out of character, as I will admit he is a bit. But as for why Rob wanted to kill Banana Joe, I think I have an explanation.

As we know from The Rerun, like you said, Rob never wanted to be a villain. I've always thought he's afraid that if he stopped being a bad guy, he'd no longer serve a purpose and be sent back to the Void. And since his newfound anger issues kind of took over his life, he chose the one person he could think of who was more annoying than Gumball to try to destroy. He most likely knows at this point that Banana Joe can't exactly be killed anyway.

And no, I don't agree that Penny was completely pointless; she served to at least move the plot along. Darwin was more pointless in my opinion. Also, I don't like Gumball x Rob either, but I still find this episode funny.
