Because the only way the avatar can truly be killed is while he's in the Avatar state otherwise he is justreborn.. but Azula killed him (or tried to) while he WAS in the avatar state so he wouldn't be reborn. Combustion man was a last resort because Zuko knew that Aang wasn't dead and needed to cover his tracks.
