He was going to do that LATER. He's got lots of time in his mind. First, he's going to destroy the Federation because he believes that the whole thing was a conspiracy created by the Federation and Vulcan in the first place to destroy Romulus. It's clear that he is more hell bent on revenge and his selfish hatred than saving his own planet many times (even at the end of the movie where he'd rather see Romulus die 1000 times before accepting help). He's mor broken over what he will never get back - his wife and child and his relationship with them as he knew it than anything. And since he's entered an alternate timeline, saving Romulus won't magically make things alright for him. The Nero of this universe might be happy 130 years in the future, but evil Nero would still be lonely and full of spite with nowhere to go, a man forever out of his time and universe who can't return to his own time and place with things back the way it was.
