I think that, if we can, we should completely and entirely get the world rid of mosquitoes (and tsetse flies as well if possible). Several species have become extinct in the world's history -- in fact far more species have gone extinct than extant today. Diminishing mosquitoes to EW (Extinct in the Wild) status would save millions of human lives.
Malaria isn't the only disease spread by mosquito. Mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting several diseases. The "aedes aegypti" species of mosquito doesn't spread malaria, but several other debilitating diseases including dengue fever, chikungunya, yellow fever, etc.
