[Star Wars] during the Clone Wars how did Count Dooku justify using the droid army and that campaigns against the night sisters and against Darth Maul. when both of those they probably lost thousands of troops that were probably needed on the front lines against the Republic.

Part of the reason the droid army was seen as an equivalent fighting force to the superior trained clones, able to hardline the Republic in the initial year of the war and maintain a heavy presence throughout, and could have won had they not been part of a puppet war designed to centralize the opponent into an Empire is that they were mass-produced in the tens of thousands each day, and had no need for anything other than a power source and gun. Dooku could take as many as he needed to Dathomir and it wouldn’t be a drop in the CIS reserves. 

Something to also note is that the Separatists model of government was basically a parody and proto-Imperial in a way: Dooku and Sidious were running the show, they put Grievous in charge of doing their bidding, and had the war council execute his commands for it because they knew better otherwise. The Separatist senate had almost no role in the military and were fed a propagandized version of events; if Dooku decided to crush a planet, nobody was going to stop him.
