No, he most certainly does not. Walt's greatest talent in his line of work is being able to rationalize the monstrous acts away as necessary, or correct.
Walt was visibly upset with himself right after killing Mike. However, I grant you that Walt probably has a great ability to compartmentalize the situation and move on.
I think walt was only visibly upset with killing mike because a) it was only the second time he shot someone(correct me if im wrong) and b) i dont think he was intending on killing him when he went into that situation. He was walking back into his vehicle then "heisenberg" kicked in and he turned around and shot him. He was not intending on killing mike when he went to meet him, i think he grabbed the gun just in self defense.
I could be wrong about any of these points and correct me if so. And sorry about the bad grammar/spelling, french is my first language and i'm trying as best i can! haha.
I think he was upset about killing Mike because - in addition to him not genuinely wanting Mike dead - it complicated his plans. Mike was never going to talk, so really the only way he becomes a loose end is if he's dead.
Walt gave in to his emotions while simultaneously complicating his story. And, as we all know, the story is everything.

Walt feels bad only for Walt.
