If Elise had been hit with Amy's mallet, she would have suffered from head trauma or concussion, resulting in the total destruction of the world because she couldn't even get a peck on Sonic to bring him back to life.

I don't get it either, but that's how the story worked. In fact, I'd say Amy would've been happier to have Sonic alive, no matter what it took to revive him.
