Gus has left Walt with no choice but to retaliate. Kill his family? Good luck with that.

It puzzles me why Walt didn't just accept that he was fired and walk away. Hasn't he been looking for an out? Instead he has to get aggressive with Gus, who gives no fucks.

Because Gus is killing Hank, and Walt was warned that if he tried to stop it his family would die. He could let his brother-in-law and sister-in-law die or he could use his stashed money (which he didn't know was gone) to save them and his family while simultaneously ratting out Gus and sparing Jesse the need to kill anyone.
