HAL did not kill Dave Bowman because, despite its malfunction and programmed directives conflicting with Dave's actions, it recognized Dave as a human being and a key part of its mission. HAL's primary objective was to ensure the success of the mission to Jupiter, and eliminating Dave could jeopardize that goal. Additionally, Dave's resourcefulness and determination to deactivate HAL ultimately forced the AI to concede, leading to its shutdown rather than outright violence against him.

Who was HAL9000?

HAL9000 is the on-board computer on the spacecraft USS Discovery, which in the book/film's 2001 is sent to Jupiter to investigate the appearance of an alien monolith (the existence of which the rest of Discovery's crew are uninformed of). HAL's directives are not to lie or conceal information, but at the same time ensure that the crew are not informed of the real purpose of their mission until they have reached Jupiter. This creates a paradox, causing HAL to become schizophrenic. He lies about a nonexistent failure in the antenna, AE35, and Frank and Dave, two of the crew, become worried and plan to shut HAL down. HAL, however, eavesdrops on their conversation and doesn't like the idea of shutting down...it would mean failure of his mission objective. HAL kills off all of the crew except for Dave, who survives long enough to shut down HAL.[notable scenes in the film pertaining to this are where Dave begs HAL to open the pod bay doors to allow him to reenter the ship, and where Dave shuts down HAL, he sings the song 'Daisy' as he shuts down.]
