Charles Wallace's contention was the fear clouds the mind and prevents clear thinking.  In order to fight evil, a carefull consideration of all options was necessary

Also, decisions based on fear tend to be focused more on self-preservation.  In this fight, the focus needed to be on more than just self, but on the world(s) as a whole.  Self-sacrifice might be necessary, as Charles Wallace will choose to do later.  The larger consequences need to be considered, not just what will happen to Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin.
