She apparently tortured and was preparing to mutilate the body of someone who's clearly not herself. If Mei had counterstabbed Takako, or caused her to break her neck, it'd be one thing. Instead, she apparently strangled her to death, and on top of that is about to stab her, apparently out of spite. You can't strangle someone in self defense; they pass out and stop being a threat first. I think that's what Izumi takes issue with.

Plus, if Izumi takes at face value that the Calamity killed Takako, then we're left with the disturbing possibility it did so to protect Mei, which leads to Mei manipulated events so she'd die, which in turns goes back to Mei killed her.
