In the novel, Krosp says he hid his intelligence, "Which, in retrospect, might have been a mistake." So whoever scheduled him for termination (who may *not* have been Klaus, we're never told) didn't know he was intelligent.
Though given what we've since learned, I can see being leery of a Vapnoople "masterpiece". And it's not like Krosp is all that moral himself. But it seems like the Baron would still have given Krosp rope to hang himself with, rather than killing him immediately.
