It's pretty clear that Gwyndolin was not large and in charge of much during the second Age of Fire as most of the gods were still in Anor Londo right up until the fire started dwindling again. He only became large after the events of DS1.

How do you know that he was strong enough to link the Flame anyway? Lothric chose not to link the Flame, does that make him a coward? If not wanting to die is considered cowardice then I think that means we're all cowards.

How do you know there wouldn't have been another person to link the father without Gwyndolin's intervention. The prophecy of the Chosen Undead wasn't Gwyndolin's doing. If the god of the darkmoon hadn't been in Anor Londo, we most likely would have just gone to the abandoned city and taken the Lordvessel anyway.

We don't know whether or not he continued to task others to link the flame either. He could very well have stopped after DS1 and did his own thing instead. We certainly don't see him in DS2 when we link the flame again.

How does it not make sense for the Nameless King to do it? By your definition that would make him a coward too. We don't know if Gwyndolin was powerful enough to link the fire anyway. It's stated that he fell ill prior to the events of DS3, so he couldn't have been that strong and don't forget he had been imprisoned by Sulyvahn as well.

Gwyndolin may have been a bit shady, but he didn't deserve the fate he got. No one deserves that.

Aldrich is still a total asshole though. Nothing changes that. Doesn't matter if he ate Hitler, he's still a monster who eats humans.
