Perhaps the reason Maedhros asked Fingon to kill him was because choosing death while being hung up there would have signified defeat to Morgoth; whereas accepting death from a friend's hand would not have the same meaning.
Or perhaps he did not wish his body to be defiled by Morgoth after death - and seeing Fingon, he knew that at least in death he would be buried honourably.
