Well, define 'take out', and no I don't mean food
from the Chinese Deli. 

Do you mean Dumbledore should kill Voldemort? Just
one problem, Voldemort can't be killed. AKing him
too early in the process would only delay thing. 
Voldemort would come back, and it would start all
over again.

If you mean capture, Voldemort doesn't strike me
as that easy to capture, and once captured, he 
doesn't strike me as that easy to contain.

Dumbledore wants it to end once and for all. When
Voldemort is finally gone, he wants him truly and
completely gone forever. That means a very complex
sequence of events has to happen. As to what did
happen, it seems near impossible to for Dumbledore
to have predicted. 

How could Dumbledore know that Harry would, through
a complex chain of events, become the Master of the
Elder Wand? That certainly helped, but it wasn't 
part of Dumbledore's plan. 

So, to your basic question, why didn't he; I think 
the answer is, if he really wanted to win, he couldn't.

Just a thought.
