Why do philosophers historically have such awesome, cool and "metal" deaths?

Philosophy is the coward's science so it makes sense that most of them die the coward's death of suicide. Props to the ones murdered by police. They deserved it anyway.

Socrates, died by poison, after imprisonment
Jesus Christ, died by torture, after imprisonment

More like why are all of the important philosophers imprisoned and killed?

And why was Socrates last line so fucking anticlimactic ‘Crito, I owe one cock to Asclepius’. Fucking gay. Literally.

Not really. Imagine a modern virtue philosopher dying in the same way and saying 'John, I owe an Oblation to Christ.' It's like giving one last thanks in your last breath to something you served your whole life.

They are not and you are dumb. Suicide is a very rare method of dying, which puts the lie to your suggestion.

Wrong. The Greeks would offer chickens to Asclepius in exchange for cures. Socrates wished that Critical would offer a cock to Asclepius because Asclepius had given him a cure for life.
