Is it bad to play killer this way?
Alright, so, I'm new to the forum. Forgive me if this is somehow in the wrong category.
I main Nurse and Spirit, and run Nurses, Thana, Sloppy, and Stridor. Usually I'll play serious with survivors throughout the game, but sometimes they'll have someone kill themselves on hook, or sandbagging, or a DC, and I'll have mercy on the last one or two survivors because they either played well or were the ones getting sandbagged. Is it wrong to give mercy like that? I mean, I usually get Ruthless killer in games like that, so I'm not dropping rank or anything. I really just want to know if it's fun for the survivors if I have mercy and let them do gens or something.

I don't think it's bad to play this way

It depends. Usually if the survivor isn't gesturing and actually does the gen then they are probably thankful.
Although most good survivors would probably just sit in front of a hook and ask you to go next rather than trying to complete 5 gens.

Not at all. Many killers give hatch or let survivors go escape due to many different reasons.
I sometimes give hatch to survivors when their teammates DC or if they played well too. It just depends.
Remember, play how you want to play. Nobody can tell you otherwise.

Well, I'm not 5 genning survivors, usually it's only one or two gens left when two people are dead and I start showing mercy (depending on how the game went)

It depends on the match. If the DC is early, or, as in one match, 2 players suicided on their first hook, I go easy on the other survivors. I slow down my pace, let them get points, but I'll usually try to hook them twice as well, I just won't kill them. Once I've hooked them twice, I let them do their thing. Sometimes, if it's been a really tough match, and one survivor has played well, or at least not been a tea bagging jerk like his team mates, I'll let them live. (Once, I did pick one survivor to spare at the start of a match based off their name. It was a cool name.)
What's funny is that as a killer, you will never get a survivor doing the same thing. When I first started playing killer, I was so over matched, and no one took pity. Playing late at night, as a rank 16, with a REALLY sad computer, I would often get matched against green and purple survivors and even occasionally red, I assume those were in a party with another player. None ever offered to let me hook them for free. Often they tea bagged. Even if I got one of the "brown" ranks downed, if there were higher level players, they would flashlight stun me or body block till the survivor escaped.
I've had survivors give up and offer themselves to be suicide hooked. (I was playing as Plague or Doctor.) But that's because they couldn't make any progress on gens and kept puking or were constantly going mad. Not because they outplayed me.

If want to give a survivor mercy then that's fine, play the game however you want too.
