No it shouldn't. Humans get better, they come and go, new players enter the
scene. Computers get better, and new engines come on the scene all the time now.
There is no way this will or should be the last time these kinds of matches
happen.

Why is that? Chess played perfectly is most likely a draw. If it ended even, it
doesn't mean anyone is better.

Clearly you haven't put ANY thought into anything you have said here. Kramnik
and Kasparov would be absolutely foolish to "go for the kill" against tactical
giants like computers. "Going for the kill" isn't always the correct plan.
