What was hashed out was why he shouldn't save his father not what to do with his killer. Knowing who killed his dad for it's own sake is pointless; revenge, justice, or reconciliation follows. Not many people in the world will allow a murder of one's beloved father to go unchallenged, a justice denied.
The show isn't over, we only know that Hiro must let his father die... or rather, his father convinced him it needs to be that way. He never said don't get revenge.. which I'm sure he'll try.. but probably won't go through with it for some nobility reason or something.
To clarify I've no problem with Hiro allowing his dad to die as per their graveyard/rooftop conversation. I was merely pointing out that once his dad's fate was sealed, Hiro had an opportunity to confront or avenge his father's killer, but he let it pass. (If he had snatched Adam from mid air and they transported elsewhere, this would have the minor virtue of explaining why his blood was nowhere on the ground.) Of course from a TV point of view the shock of discovering his dad's killer was enough for the scene - the confrontation or fight could wait a week later.

All Hiro needed to do was go to the time prior to Adam's conception/gain of power and end it.
Throwing a monkey wrench in the timeline! That means Hiro saves his dad, something they agreed he shouldn't do.
If he does kill Adam in the past, Hiro would get to portray his childhood hero. Writers would need to solve the appearance of 2 Hiros in ole Japan, one pretending to be K. And the future timeline would be much different.
