4 was a perfect ending. Despite having "won", his family was in shambles, he was a broken man, and the specter of his cancer was always there and going to come back. Do you REALLY need to know that he went back to the meth game, or that Jesse was taken hostage by neo-Nazi's? Does it change your opinion of Walt? Does it really change anything? I don't think it does. I mean, season 5 has some great eps and moments, but I still feel like 4 was a fitting end. For me, I think I'd have the exact opinion of the show had 5 not happened.
It changes everything
Hank, Walt, & Mike would all still be alive along with Hank never finding out about Walt being Heisenberg.

Did you need that to happen? I feel like leaving it up to your imagination after 4 would be just as good as what actually happened in season 5. I just don't feel like Hank finding out about Walt was ultimately important or the point of the show.

It was the point of the show. Hank was written to be the antithesis of Walt, him not finding out was never even a remote possibility. That's like saying what if Professor X and Magneto never meet. It has to happen.
Well, it would've never happened if the show got cancelled, but as far as the writers they intended for Hank to find out about Walt, Jesse to find out Walt let Jane die, etc. Season 4 ends and none of that happens. Not only that, there isn't a definitive ending for any character. That shyt didn't work for "The Sopranos", and it wouldn't have worked for this show either.

The point of the show wasn't for Hank to find Walt out. The point of the show was to see Walt go from mild mannered teacher to drug king pin. And at the point where season 4 ended, he had killed multiple people, poisoned a kid, dragged his whole family into it, and took out the head of the empire. He won. He broke bad. THAT's the point of the series. The point wasn't about him getting caught or who was the one to catch him.
Ultimately, for me, season 4 was the apex for Walt. He had crossed the morality line hundred times, was bringing bombs into a hospital where a kid ws dying because he poisoned him so he could use his bomb on someone else, then set the bomb off at a nursing home that could have killed any number of more innocent people. Season 5 just served to reinforce that he was a bad guy, at times where he's comically evil. From Mr. CHIPS to Scarface is the phrase Vince Gilligan always used to describe the show. Well, season 5 is to Breaking Bad as Scarface The World Is Yours is to Scarface. A fun romp in the world, but ultimately just repeating itself and doing nothing to change the point that was already made.
