I know it is only continuation but...

I have long suspected that the continuation moves are not always the best choices. Here is proof. The last move shows the white Q taking the pawn at c2, but moving the rook to e4 is Mate. If we get penalized for arriving at checkmate one move later in the puzzle - even when absolutely guaranteed - then the better move is the checkmate. Have I missed something?

You are rigth swash, there are a lot of mistakes in the continuation moves, mainly in the last move of them.
