Since he skipped bail for something which is now dropped, doesn't that move back up and nullify his wanted status as well?

Or is there a process that he could now start, like "remove my wanted status because there is no point now", and that would then get decided by some organization?

No. He gave his bonded word that he would give himself up, which is what the bail was about, then went back on it. That has consequences that are not automatically overlooked.

Well, in most countries there's a legal way to fight a legal action you consider incorrect. Fighting the legal action in another way is a new crime. It's like if someone owes you money, you cannot go and rob him. Even if your payment claim is considered valid robbing is illegal.
