The killer's match result should be shown to the survivors

I think this change would put less pressure and importance on killers to get as many kills as possible. I think DBD intended the match results to mean such:

Entity displeased = lost

Brutal killer = average/tied

Ruthless = good

Merciless = excellent

The problem is survivors don't see the killer's match result at all. The only thing see they see are the kills, so they would see it like:

0-1 kills = victory

2 kills = tied

3-4 kills = lost

This puts pressure on the killer to play for kills since the killer's match result means nothing for the survivor in terms of victory or defeat. For example when I get 1 kill, I still often get a Brutal Killer but it still feels like a lost. If the survivors could see the Brutal Killer, then I would not care nearly as much.

I think this change would help shift the mindset of killers from needing to get as many kills as possible to getting as many kills and/or points as possible. This would be better for both sides since the point system rewards non-toxic gameplay. As long as the killer doesn't camp or tunnel and the game doesn't end in 5 minutes, the match result is usually Brutal Killer or better. Another benefit would be higher killer diversity. It would make it so a killer doesn't need to be strong to be playable. If the killer is weak but can still farm points, they would still be played.
