Exactly right. Thanos took the orb, challenged Tyrant and withstood him. That's it. Job done, pat on the back, time to go. He didn't have anything left to prove to himself, so there was no point in staying there.Thanos did have a reason to stay in Asgard. He was there to help the Watch help Thor get better. In this scenario, his mission wasn't complete, so he wasn't going to run. That's the context you're missing.
Thanos really didnt care that much for Thor and could have left. Thanos wouldnt get himself killed to return Thor's sanity. The point is he ws nowhere close to death and was only knocked down.
