1. Very true, but if you think about it, once the Mega Weapon was destroyed, everything reverted back to the way it was (except for the effects of the Tomorrow Tea). Garmadon still had four arms, and therefore went to the Dark Dimension via Samukai's combination of the weapons, so he still would have been destroyed.

2. It's not likely that he went to the Dark Dimension when the portal was created, since we've seen the Golden Weapons do this before: when a pirate tried to take the Mega Weapon from Garmadon, when a nindroid touched the Golden Material in outer space, and when Zane confronted the Overlord in his golen armor. All three examples disintegrated or were eventually destroyed.

3. Again, the Overlord never touched the Golden Material that eventually became his armor. If the past tells us anything, in order for someone to use the Creation power of the Golden Weapons, the user needs to touch/hold it. As the embodiment of Evil, I doubt the Overlord would be able to touch the Golden Material, so that's why he built himself a mech that utilized the Golden Armor and material without having it close to him.

4. Even if the Overlord could touch the Golden Material, or had the element of Creation, or (as Garmadon said) was as powerful as the First Spinjitzu Master, he probably wouldn't resurrect Samukai. He has never met him, and Samukai didn't even last as a villain for more than 5 episodes. If the Overlord had that sort of power, he wouldn't resurrect an easily beat villain as his fail-safe.
