Gaius is an inspiration for Merlin! If anything happened to him, I dont know how Merlin could cope. He is one of the only ones who know of Merlins abilities and he needs to be able to discuss this with soeone. Gaius also holds knowledge of the Old Religioun far beyond Merlin could ever know. How could the kingdowm cope without him? He has a much more important role than he is given credit for.

As for his age, he should have died by now but with his magical abilities, he coud live longer. In the video he does mention that he cant take much more...Maybe in the final episodes he might lake  a leave? Well I do like him and I thinks hes cool!
