Because Lester betrayed his favor, friendship and offer of partnership by rejecting his murderous ways in the most hypocritical manner possible, by committing to murder by association and then chickening out. Must have broken Malvo's heart, kindred spirits must be hard to come by when you're a murderous psychopath.

Malvo was proud of what Lester had become, but he saw he was still a sniveling little weasel who had gotten too full of himself.

Lester was a dead man once Malvo killed everyone on the elevator. Once Lester ruined Malvo's plans, it was over for him. Even if Lester offered to help Malvo dispose of the bodies, he would have killed him right after they were done.
Lester knew that, which is why he fled.
Ok if Lester hadn't confronted Malvo in the elevator then what would Malvo had done? Continue with that fake life he acquired with his wife? I always found that finale to be very strange.

>hey lester help me take this corpses to a safe spot after you ruined my plan
>i ain't gonna shot you pal, it's not like i'm a psycho
Wrong and wrong. He thought Lester was a worthy opponent at that point, who could give him a run for his money. Same reason he didn't kill the deaf hitman ("when you are healed, come find me" etc...).

... malvo explained in the elevator, in detail, why he was doing all that.

Malvo was doing a job for somebody. He was trying to gain the trust of the man that was killed in the elevator so that he could get to his brother, who he was hired to murder. The reappearance of Lester blew his cover.
