[The Matrix] Why did the drone flush Neo after he woke up? Did it consider him dead or was it considered too difficult to plug someone back in?

If I recall, the pills were just tracer programs and didn't do anything except help the crew find Neo among the thousands of banks of tubes.

Once someone is unplugged they can't really be plugged back in. Cypher might have been the exception but seems to take a lot of extra energy and doesn't seem to be worth it just for a rando. So the next rational choice is to flush the human and just let him die, then recycle him and use him for food. If Morpheus's ship didn't locate him, he would have drowned.
