They brought out 8 Elder Guard to fight a mythril equivalent team for an 'even fight'.

That means the expectation was that 8 Elder Guard would be about equivalent to fighting a difficulty 60-70 monster, a formidible challenge but not a slaughter (though the fight didn't go well for the invaders, it was evident that more focused tactics should have allowed them to take out at least one or two Elder Guards, instead they were overconfident and got surprised).

A single Death Knight is difficulty 100+, not even a one-sided slaughter, just butchery.

The extensive use of Death Knights is simply because Ainz can use corpses to spawn a certain number of them for free every day, thus they are radically more cost effective than even POP monsters. He also personally recieves immediate intel events when they are destroyed (except for the ones created by Pandora's Actor).
